Lucas Erin: Manor Art Prize 2026 Vaud

For his show in the Espace Projet, Lucas Erin presents a new series of works that explore the garden, its connection to the seasons and climatic variations, its changing meanings across different latitudes, its particular economy, as well as its place in specific histories and temporalities.

Lucas Erin’s work revolves around installation, sculpture and sound. Interested in the notion of contact, of which objects are the trace, attentive to the question of the relationship between interior and exterior and the shifting boundary that separates them, Erin explores, through concise gestures, what happens or fails in an exchange. Questions of circulation and sharing are at the heart of his reflections. His found objects and carefully crafted sculptures contain both the threads of interwoven stories and hints of narratives in the making. Inspired by thinkers of creolisation, revisiting his Martinican heritage through the prism of his connection to the land and the plants that grow there, the artist works using associations, reappropriations, and shifts that allow new possibilities to emerge in the exhibition space.
