Sacha Rappo (*1990) is a Swiss artist based in Fribourg (CH). After a master's degree in earth sciences at the University of Fribourg (CH), he obtained a bachelor's degree in visual arts at the Bern University of the Arts. Based on research, his work questions the geological, historical or social character of a rock, which he then transposes into a contemporary context. With a great economy of means and an assumed precariousness, he isolates fragments, reverses scales as if to point out the accidents inherent in the conservation of works, their appropriation as heritage and, more prosaically, the costly and polluting transport or other disposable exhibition devices and scenographies. The shifts they make are responsible, modest and yet full of meaning, like footnotes in a scholarly publication.
