The bird car
Vincent Dubourg's The bird car (2007), testifies to the challenges of the contemporary forest. The carcass of an Isetta car, extracted from a copse, denounces the impact of man on the forest landscape. Symbol of industry and pollution, the abandoned car is nevertheless invaded by vegetation. Birds have even installed their nests there: nature seems to be reclaiming its rights. This confrontation between the urban world and the wild world is characteristic of Vincent Dubourg's work.
After a work of observation in the city, the visual artist creates in his workshop in the Creuse. Described as a "wolf child", he is inspired by the nature and society that surround him. Halfway between design and vegetal, his sculptures plunge the spectator into a universe of absurd machines and bric-a-brac where each material is recycled.
