About:
In Cornelia Konrads’ world, stones dance above the ground, branches form unresolved porticos, books are written with brambles and drops of water… Ready to break apart before our eyes, her works are spaces of transition and interrogation, traps capable of raising possibilities and, with luck, awakening the joy of another viewpoint.

Cornelia Konrads is able to breathe motion into what we believed to be inert, infusing us with a kind of magical thinking that enriches our perception. At Chaumont-sur-Loire, Cornelia Konrads immerses her audience in an extraordinary combination of mineral and vegetable, where plants appear to be raising the venerable brickwork of the Domain’s listed Stables, in a poetic vertigo of stone.
