Etienne Krähenbühl is a swiss artist and a sculptor. His work is defying gravity and physic laws. The artist works with the four elements to transform the surface of his sculptures that also display time as another of these elements. The traces of rust on his metal sculptures reveal the precious antiquity of the material and show the passage of time, which is also presented in its existential dimension.integrates the passage of time into his metal sculptures. Thanks to the four elements, the surface of his massive constructions is transformed. From the traces of rust we receive the precious antiquity of the material.

So the artist not only presents the passage of time as a supplementary element but he also présents it in its existential dimension. David Collin was born in France but lives in Switzerland.
