Jean-Marc Yersin: Autoroute A2 Bisonne, protection contre le bruit, 2018
Yersin’s images are brimming with visual tension. They show the conflict between man-made and natural environments, as the artist juxtaposes concrete structures with the landscapes of Lake Geneva, the Rhone River, and the Alps. With his series, Yersin offers a glimpse into the future of these feats of industrial architecture. Some decades from now, the artist suggests, these once-proud monuments will be abandoned and disused – mere sculptures in a rural landscape, reminders of a distant past.
