Exploring mortality's weight across various time scales, Hautemulle’s practice questions values shaped by finite time. From geological epochs to personal lifetimes, she questions productivity, progress, pleasure, beauty, goodness and value.
How in our mortality, do we consume time?

VIEW MASTER

In alchemy, the balance of these dualities symbolizes the ideal of spiritual or mystical completeness—a harmony between masculine and feminine, spirit and matter, or conscious and unconscious. The piece follows the bull through its morning routine, witnessing the sacred experiencing the mundane, and inviting questions about what makes an experience sacred.

Created with a view master, the piece offers a private peek into the dream's 'life,' where only one person can view it at a time. The view master’s construction, using two images to form a complete picture, mirrors the themes of duality and wholeness. Sequined and foam breasts, along with a wax mask, add layers of meaning, challenging traditional notions of gender and identity.

Through this work, the artist invites viewers to reflect on the balance of energies and the intersection of the sacred and the mundane in everyday life.
