The Frame as a Narrative Space

Frame for exposition

A drawing never lives on its own. For Swiss Wrestling, More Than a Tradition, I wanted the presentation to support the storytelling within each scene. The works, in 40×60 cm and 50×70 cm formats, are not meant to impose monumental presence but to invite the viewer into a story.

Each scene is conceived as a fragment of narrative: a gesture between wrestlers, a suspended moment, a detail of texture. The black wood Skava Nielsen frames highlight this intimacy without distraction. Simple and strong, they act as vessels that give full space to the drawing.

The hanging at Galerie du Pressoir has been designed as a narrative sequence. Moving from one image to another is like turning the pages of a silent book. The works converse with one another, weaving a shared memory.
