DeLorean 40th

It is motionless, doors raised, as if someone had had come down from it. descend. At 192 centimeters wide, this DeLorean is not no longer an image of car: it is a presence, to scale of a wall, which imposes its front length even that one can distinguish anything.

There where DELOREAN BACK was a work of subtraction, this is a work of accumulation. Everything is filled, everything is built, and the bodywork becomes a territory to to explore. Steel brushed steel is not gray : it is made of hundreds of shades blended together — whites, grays pearl, anthracite, taupes, but also lavenders, and pale blues, and sands, greens muted, dusty pinks powdered. These colors improbable, invisible at distance, are exactly what makes the metal. Of far away, the eye blends them in a single reflection. From up close, he discovers a mosaic.

The interior is the turning point. There where the bodywork reads like a surface, the interior opens up in depth : seats, pillar of windshield, headrests, and this dense black that deepens the cabin. A few red accents and green lights come on in the shadow, barely perceptible, like the telltale signs of a dashboard remains powered on.

And then there is the line. A black vertical line runs through the work and separates it in two panels, exactly directly above the open door. A diptych is never neutral: this division splits the machine down the middle its middle, separates front from rear, the departure of arrival. Discreetly, on the left, two dates comment — October 26th 1985 / 2025. Forty years on either side in a single stroke.

Brick Board Builder did notplaced a single brick according to a plan. Each element was hand-selected, in a stock of LEGO® bricks used arrived loose from all over France and sorted one to one — including one part sourced from solidarity-based reuse thanks to the association Replayed. Pieces without a story that find one again. At at this scale, the quantity of bricks sorted can be counted in tens of thousands, and each one was chosen for its color, its shape, its brilliance. This work does not could ever be remade to identical.

Nor print, nor reproduction, nor intelligence artificial. An constructed work, numbered and delivered with its certificate of authenticity, framed and signed on the back.
