This catalogue, conceived with the artist as a sketch book, presents a metallic cover echoing stainless steel, a material used in numerous sculptures of the artist. Moreover, it includes a splendid essay - Brigitte Nahon, Thoughts sewn with Thread and Water - by the art critic Catherine Francblin, which celebrates the artist’s meditation on her sculpture, existing only « on the verge of the accident ».
Her 19 drawings, realised during the summer 1999 in New York City illustrate the conception and the setting of the works and take us to Le Passage, her sculpture made out of water, light and steel, concomitantly set up on the Champs - Elysées within the exhibition Les Champs de la Sculpture 2000.
