The photographs taken in 2017 do not provide an objective view of the villa; rather, they capture fragments, details and surfaces. Alongside these images, Bauer places frames, sculptures, and glass reliefs – mirror-like elements that introduce instability by reflecting and distorting and returning only partial details of images that are already fragments of a larger history.
In this sense, “Maison en Bord de Mer” does not use E-1027 merely as a subject, but as a device. The house becomes the starting point from which to question how a story is constructed and passed down, and how it can be removed or rewritten over time.
