Playfully mischievous and fictional, his creations appear to have been born in a fantasized universe, echoing a familiar, ancestral culture.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Porte Sauvetout was one of the gates in Nantes\u2019 13th-century-era fortifications. Destroyed in 1790, these ramparts were rediscovered in the 1990s during an archaeological dig. Only the base of the tower is still visible today.<br><br>Now standing at the edge of tram line n\u00ba 3 amidst the surrounding sprawl of contemporary architecture, this medieval vestige is a true space-time anomaly in the city\u2019s urban development.&nbsp;<br> Playing with time and space in his own work, Le Deunff imagined a \u201ctotem\u201d animal for this relic in the form of a beaver with a fish tail that he first spotted in a medical book from the Middle Ages.&nbsp;<br><br>Through this figure of a beaver overlooking his new territory from a fallen tree (50 ft.), Le Deunff spins a playful yarn for this urban vestige. With this anachronistic bronze figure and its silver tail \u2013 itself a fictitious representation taken from popular beliefs \u2013 the artist propels the animal into another time frame and into an incongruous, anachronistic scenario.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Laurent Le Deunff was born in 1977. He lives and works in Bordeaux, and is represented by Galerie S\u00e9miose (Paris).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":8858,"menu_order":0,"template":"","types-oeuvres":[131],"criteres":[163],"relations-voyage":[224],"class_list":["post-8867","oeuvre","type-oeuvre","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","types-oeuvres-contemporary-art","criteres-art-en","relations-voyage-2021-edition","entry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.5 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Un castor sur un arbre couch\u00e9 - L.
