This catalog is published on the occasion of the exhibition Sarah Sze presented at the Fondation Cartier pour l'art contemporain in 1999.
Combining sculpture and architectural experience, Sarah Sze stacks, assembles, glues, backs up or puts down a whole litany of everyday objects to create dizzying installations. Behind these labyrinthine systems, both organized and chaotic, lies a metaphor for the city, for the shifting and improvised nature of the urban fabric.
"Sarah Sze's work straddles the border between the visible and the invisble. Constitently eluding our visual grasp, her meticulously constructed structures vanish into a collage of details when we attempt to view them as a whole, yet overwhelm us with their scale when we explore their minutiae."
- Jérôme Sans
