The ecological perspective changes and renews the cultural references of our society, and forces us to understand the interdependence of man and nature. Living and creating today is both capturing the environmental issues and the questions they generate and at the same time incorporating the aesthetic, creative, imaginative and sensitive dimensions specific to our own work. We started the project titled STEREØTOPIES (solid place) with these first images of icebergs and icy landscapes. The icebergs are as big as the mountains and we can not create them nor dominate them. They appear and disappear, they are moving and are in permanent creation and destruction. 
They are made of pure water, one of the most precious materials in our world. Water in a paradoxical state: solid water. And it is precisely this paradoxical state and its transitory character that gives it that particular form, its individuality, and also makes it as a mountain, able to float.
We make hand carved models. These models evoke, in a synthetic and minimalist way, different types of «Iceberg», as geometrical solid, isolated from their context in order to observe them in leisure, in all their formal beauty. We created these models just to photograph them. Intentionally, we do not give a "realistic" environment and no indication of scale, or human presence, because we are not looking to create in the viewer a complete cinematic illusion. The iceberg is represented in its entirety, the visible part and the part submerged, separated by a thin line of water. Finally we make his portrait, as if each of them was really "somebody" a unique and fragile individual immortalized before its disappearance.
