This concrete factory was used to extract sand from the Loire River and transform it to build infrastructures. Its transformative function evokes the experimental aspect of Signer\u2019s artistic approach. The abandoned steel building contrasts highly with the luxuriant vegetation around it. A scarlet metallic giant is asleep in this verdant space.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Swiss artist produced a black seven-meter pendulum, attached to the building\u2019s fa\u00e7ade. An extension swinging relentlessly from side to side. This project, minimal and monumental at once, illustrates precisely Roman Signer\u2019s plastic vocabulary. <em>Le Pendule<\/em> is not a classic clock. It\u2019s an installation showing the passage of time: highlighting the slow decline of the remaining factory, while coinciding with the tide cycle, the flow of the river. Time attacking the building while being the ally of nature reasserting itself. The unstoppable swinging, like a ticking reminder, enhances this feeling of an impending disappearance.&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Roman Signer, Le Pendule, 2009, installation, 7 meters high, Trentemoult, Rez\u00e9, Nantes estuary\/FR.&nbsp; The Loire estuary is also an open-skied contemporary art center near the city of Nantes.
