At 1/35 scale, Simon Laveuve's dwellings would barely reach a viewer's knee, yet they carry the weight of full-sized anxieties. The artist builds miniature houses that perch on stilts and boulders, ramshackle structures pieced together from tiny chairs, boxes of produce, fishing gear and objects that look scrounged from who knows where and repurposed into tools and furniture. No figures ever occupy the scenes, but the evidence of daily life — a set table, a mended wall — suggests the residents have only just slipped out. The works have a distinctly post-apocalyptic mood, and Laveuve leans into it. Pieces with titles like "Eau-delà Du Gouffre / IDF2068," "L'Observateur / IDF2068" and "Demain Sera Comme Hier / IDF2068" imagine anonymous builders making do with whatever is available in precarious places: a tomb carved into a mountainside, a watchtower on a rocky outcrop, a factory of sentinels. The throughline is resilience under pressure, a fitting metaphor for contemporary political and economic turbulence. Speaking about the work, Laveuve says it addresses a fundamental need: finding a place to hold on, and from that point of anchorage, to live. The dwellings are less about architecture than about the human impulse to claim shelter wherever it can be found, even on the edge of a chasm. Parisians will be able to see the miniatures in person this autumn. Laveuve's solo exhibition "Ancré dans la roche" (Anchored in Rock) opens on 12 November at Loo & Lou Gallery and continues through 22 December. The gallery will also present his work during Luxembourg Art Week from 20 to 22 November.
