October in Auberive (2022) "This sculpture is kinetic, it plays with the movement of the spectator, the light, the reflections. It is also naturalistic and evokes the splendours and the fragility of the trees around his village in the heart of Haute Marne. Gilbert Marcel uses precious wood, painted panes of glass, twigs, branches, elements that he assembles with the precision of a watchmaker engaged in the invention of a motionless machine to go back in time." Pierre Bongiovanni
