Visually, the work explores the absence of the human body, which creates an atmosphere that is both intriguing and slightly disturbing. The realism of the fabric and the folds in the trousers are very detailed, reinforcing the illusion of presence. This type of sculpture can be interpreted as a reflection on absence, abandonment or the ephemeral, themes often explored in contemporary installations. The use of hanging clothes can also evoke a feeling of transformation or immateriality, playing with the idea of what remains after an object has been used.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&lt;\u00a0 Back to portfolio<div class=\"et_pb_module el_masonry_gallery el_masonry_gallery_0\">\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"et_pb_module_inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"el_masonry_gallery_wrapper\"data-lightbox_effect=\"none\" data-enable_navigation=\"off\" data-lightbox_navigate_current=\"on\" data-lightbox_transition_duration=\"300\" data-isotope_transition_duration=\"400\" data-click_trigger=\"on\">\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"el_masonry_gallery_module__inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"el_masonry_gallery_item_gutter\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div data-mfp-src=\"https:\/\/francoisruegg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/absence-presence.jpg\" class=\"el_masonry_gallery_item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"el_masonry_gallery_image_wrapper\"><img width=\"1024\" height=\"646\" src=\"https:\/\/francoisruegg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/absence-presence-1024x646.jpg\" class=\"el_masonry_gallery_module__image attachment-large size-large no-lazyload skip-lazy\" alt=\"\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/francoisruegg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/absence-presence-980x618.jpg 980w, https:\/\/francoisruegg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/absence-presence-480x303.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) 1024px, 100vw\" \/> <span class=\"et_overlay et_pb_inline_icon\" data-icon=\"0\"><\/span><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div><div data-mfp-src=\"https:\/\/francoisruegg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Francois_Ruegg-Expo-12-9-media.jpg-scaled.jpeg\" class=\"el_masonry_gallery_item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"el_masonry_gallery_image_wrapper\"><img width=\"1024\" height=\"646\" src=\"https:\/\/francoisruegg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Francois_Ruegg-Expo-12-9-media.jpg-1024x646.jpeg\" class=\"el_masonry_gallery_module__image attachment-large size-large no-lazyload skip-lazy\" alt=\"\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/francoisruegg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Francois_Ruegg-Expo-12-9-media.jpg-980x618.jpeg 980w, https:\/\/francoisruegg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Francois_Ruegg-Expo-12-9-media.jpg-480x303.jpeg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) 1024px, 100vw\" \/> <span class=\"et_overlay et_pb_inline_icon\" data-icon=\"0\"><\/span><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div><div data-mfp-src=\"https:\/\/francoisruegg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/IMG_9476-scaled.jpeg\" class=\"el_masonry_gallery_item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"el_masonry_gallery_image_wrapper\"><img width=\"670\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/francoisruegg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/IMG_9476-670x1024.jpeg\" class=\"el_masonry_gallery_module__image attachment-large size-large no-lazyload skip-lazy\" alt=\"\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" \/> <span class=\"et_overlay et_pb_inline_icon\" data-icon=\"0\"><\/span><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div><div data-mfp-src=\"https:\/\/francoisruegg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/IMG_9478-scaled-e1742306474701.jpeg\" class=\"el_masonry_gallery_item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"el_masonry_gallery_image_wrapper\"><img width=\"766\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/francoisruegg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/IMG_9478-766x1024.jpeg\" class=\"el_masonry_gallery_module__image attachment-large size-large no-lazyload skip-lazy\" alt=\"\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" \/> <span class=\"et_overlay et_pb_inline_icon\" data-icon=\"0\"><\/span><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div><div data-mfp-src=\"https:\/\/francoisruegg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/IMG_1304-scaled.jpeg\" class=\"el_masonry_gallery_item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"el_masonry_gallery_image_wrapper\"><img width=\"702\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/francoisruegg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/IMG_1304-702x1024.jpeg\" class=\"el_masonry_gallery_module__image attachment-large size-large no-lazyload skip-lazy\" alt=\"\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" \/> <span class=\"et_overlay et_pb_inline_icon\" data-icon=\"0\"><\/span><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>95 x 38 x 32 cmGres engobes noir\/bleu 1040\u00b0 or mixt media metallic This sculpture represents a trouser in suspension, with no body to wear it, thus creating a floating effect.
