Brieuc Schieb’s "L'Esprit des Corbeaux" features a small, metallic sculpture resembling a house, placed on a textured wooden surface with soft lighting accentuating its rough, industrial texture. The minimalist composition evokes a sense of abandonment and decay, with subtle references to domesticity. Schieb employs a modernist aesthetic, using tactile, raw materials that highlight the tension between reality and fiction.

Brieuc Schieb engages with the porous frontier between documentary reality and fictional worlds, creating cinematic and installation-based narratives that examine human margins, rituals, and inner landscapes.
