Contemplation

Sidonie Devienne

Sit down to experience a mesmerizing moment. ‘Contemplation’ reintroduces meditative practices from Western Christian heritage, addressing openness to faith and epiphany. Modern life is hyper-fast and overstimulating. This handcrafted triptych offers a space for silence and reflection, inspired by Luc Ruedin’s 2024 book ‘Exercices de contemplation’. A book, mobile, and chair, created from Christian symbols, provide a space for Oraison. This heart-to-heart prayer encourages morning serenity through conscious sitting and active observation. Sidonie Devienne shares the vibrancy that meditative and religious practice can bring to one’s life. Aligning spirit, body, and soul with tenderness, one can almost touch another immaterial space. Visitors are invited to take home a bead designed after the rosary as a token of their contemplative experience.
