Mountains emerge from the origins of Anne Breton’s explorations. Little by little, they come to life. With piercing eyes, they become ghostly portraits. Legs and arms sprout, and these apparitions transform into figures: a straw child, women made of bushes, portraits of flowers, a night bird, a blind person, a friend… Bodies frozen in sandstone but in motion in our imaginations.

These sculptural ensembles sketch out a universe with fluid boundaries where new forms coexist in harmony. They function as companion pieces and explore the subtle connections between life and death, nature, and its creatures. Through these unique forms, Anne Breton offers an inner interpretation of reality, shares her visions, and gives shape to perceptions, inviting us to glimpse the possibility of a new world.

Echoing her work, she draws on the words of Franz Schrader, a 19th-century geographer, cartographer, and painter specializing in the Pyrenees, who, in his lecture “What Makes the Mountains Beautiful,” delivered at the Paris Alpine Club in 1897, spoke of this simple and fundamental impulse of life: to give of oneself, to reach beyond oneself, to share a little of oneself with the universe.
