In Zero-Gravity, a disk floats like a satellite in orbit, freed from the shackles of earth’s pull. Detached from the weight that ballasts the lightness of men, the disk twirls in perpetual rotations like a dervish in space. The mass progresses with grace in its unlikely levitation, like a celestial cloud or a myriad of stars in a constellation. The artist here focuses on the link between astronomy and watchmaking. Time, simultaneously conducting a planetary ballet in its immensity and a waltz of strings on an infinitely smaller scale, is represented in its spatial dimension, through the suspensions of these time piece mechanisms.

« If stars were motionless, time and space would no longer exist. »
Maurice Maeterlinck

Qui sommes-nous ? Quelle est notre histoire ? Que nous réserve l’avenir ? C’est habité par de telles interrogations que Quentin Carnaille entame en2010 son premier chapitre de création.Concentré sur la notion de temps, il libère les pièces d’horlogerie de leur agencement mécanique, leur conférant un nouvel esthétisme poétique, etinvite ainsi l’homme à l’émancipation. À la fois abstraites et figuratives, ses œuvres sont voulues comme une production singulière tant du point de vue de la forme que de la portée.La série, intégralement réalisée à partir de pièces d’horlogerie et d’aimants, consacre la notion de temps. Un temps inaltérable au travers duquel la matière se métamorphose. La présence systématique des aimants donne à son travail une force invisible, une attraction universelle. Quentin Carnaille nous parle de la relativité du temps. Le temps de l’espace avec ses Apesanteurs et sculptures abstraites, le temps de l’homme avec ses représentations figuratives.
