Alice Zerini-Le Reste's approach to art comprises experimentation, deconstruction and transformation. She uses randomness as a tool and creative partner to generate unpredictable and precarious results. Her work attests to an interest in the materiality of ceramic. Giving a particular access to clay in transformation, she juxtaposes techniques and materials, thinks in terms of medium and supports, to bring out a conversation that is both scientific and poetic. Working in series and large formats, her art pieces are made up of several modular parts and follow simple and spontaneous lines. She is interested in the magnificence of manufactured objects and in the ambiguous overlaps that exist between the past and the present, the mechanical and the organic, the fantastic and reality. Combining architecture, design, and territory, she examines what collective memory entails in order to extract an alternative narration - simultaneously humoristic and critical - situated between the work of an artist and that of an archivist.
