olivier mosset : toblerones
Toblerones - the colloquial name for the anti-tank roadblocks that were built between 1939 and 1945 to protect Switzerland from foreign invasion – are one of conceptual painter Olivier Mosset’s few sculptural forms. First executed in cardboard, they are here made out of ice. Marking not just the frontier of the town but also the high point of the glacier, they stand sentinel to forces unknown.
