Founded by Italian architect Francesca Bonesio and French photographer Nicolas Guiraud, Atelier 37.2 is a creative studio that explores the “relational and narrative potential of space” via large-scale installations. Completed mainly in-situ, the studio’s work aims to provoke a shift in perception, feeding and stimulating people’s imagination.

Our approach consists of creating and applying spatial layouts that provoke a shift in our everyday perception and tend to blur the frontier between reality and fiction. Through micro-architectures, land art, inhabited sculptures, ephemeral art works – we develop installations that generate intensity and prod public’s intimate fictions.

La Chapelle, or The Chapel, is no exception. Created for the PRIMA sculpture park at Leulinghen-Bernes, located within the Ferques quarry site, this site-specific installation celebrates the beauty of raw solid stone. The micro-architectural work features a concrete structure that both frames and shelters a massive, 5-ton limestone rock.
