Inauguration of new sculptures in the garden

Dans cette œuvre, Elias Kurdy revisite la figure du Cerbère en la faisant basculer du côté de l’inattendu. À la place des trois têtes hurlantes du gardien des Enfers, émergent trois bouquets pleinement épanouis. The monster, reduced to immobile whiteness, seems to have lost its primary function : no more fangs, no more incandescent gaze, only blooms that disarm his fury.

Once responsible for keeping wandering souls at the threshold of the realm of the dead, Cerberus here becomes a paradoxical creature : its flower heads no longer threaten, they watch. They set up a final frontier — fragile, alive — between the earth and its own ruin.

In this plant silence, almost solemn, the sculpture seems to question our ability to choose : branch off towards a future where balance with living things is rebuilt, or let this balance dissolve irreparably. The myth, turned inside out like a glove, looks at us as much as he puts us on notice.
