Valentin Carron — Pendulum Cold
Valentin Carron

Pendulum Cold

A delicate watercolour on paper is combined with found and functional objects — a clock, safety pin, and L-shaped hanging screw — housed within the artist's own painted wooden box. Carron blurs the boundary between image and instrument, inviting reflection on time, suspension, and the quiet tension between fragility and utility. The work carries his characteristic interest in the coded language of everyday objects and the slippage between original and reproduction.
