This bilingual monograph (French/English) offers the most comprehensive journey through the poetic, illusion-driven practice of Dominique Ghesquière, whose work subtly transforms the everyday object into an arena of perceptual dissonance.
Published by Frac Bourgogne following key exhibitions (Synagogue de Delme, Rijksakademie, La Station, BF15, Chez Valentin...), the book invites the reader to explore Ghesquière’s universe much like one would navigate a landscape of stillness and interruption—marked by moments of reflection and sudden shifts in perception.
With essays by Marie de Brugerolle and Philippe Pirotte, and a conversation between the artist and Frédéric Oyharçabal, the book reflects on how Ghesquière's discreet sculptural interventions act as invisible Trojan horses—resisting visual certainty and challenging linguistic simplification. Her works draw inspiration from daily life, yet they disrupt reality through meticulous craftsmanship and conceptual subtlety, making space for ambiguity, wonder, and memory.
