Using basic materials such as plasterboard, George Henry Longly creates a life-size sculpture that seems to be awaiting a body that has yet to arrive. This minimal structure directly engages with the physical space of the gallery: the artist intervenes directly on the wall, taking into account three dimensions of the space (the two walls that form an angle and the floor), but hollowed out. As if in response to the object’s dry quality, the title is loquacious, although it has no direct connection with the piece. It is up to the viewer to try to bridge the gap between the two.
