"Creating objects is a way to generate new situations by setting up fantasized codes. More or less empirically assembled items bring the sculptures closer to strange objects, where the boundaries between presentation and representation, original and fake, real and virtual are blurred. The shapes Hadrien Gérenton creates are a way to fantasize and rave on history (of forms, ideas...). The artist tries to use the notion of failure, held within the objects he quotes and manipulates, towards a new form where they would stay fossilized between two states."
