"Ensemble Réel" facing our future

Perched on the façade of Flumet’s “Le Fauciny” building, a fresco by Ensemble Réel stands out, powerful and eloquent. The two artist brothers, in an ambidextrous feat, have transformed a female face into a kaleidoscope of geometric shapes and vibrant colors. Their skillful combination of freehand painting and spray paint gives the impression that the face emerges from the wall, vibrating with untold stories. The deconstructed figure in a cubist style takes us on a journey through the complexity of the human soul, where each nuance and segment contributes to the overall image, evoking the plurality of identities. The skier, fragmented into a mosaic of colors, seems to contemplate an uncertain future, resonating with the environmental challenges of our mountains. The contrast between the summer scenery in the background and the winter figure becomes a powerful metaphor for climate change and its tangible effects. This monumental work transforms the wall into a conversation that boldly leaves an indelible cultural mark on the Flumet landscape. Beyond a simple fresco, this creation weaves an intimate exchange between the work and its viewer, where personal emotion and a collective reality intertwine, inviting us to an assumed reflection on the future of our mountains.
