Working across sculpture, installation, and speculative narration, Xolo Cuintle engages concrete and hybrid organisms as agents of temporal disturbance and material inquiry. Formed by Romy Texier and Valentin Vie Binet, the duo reimagines concrete as a geological substrate through which dormant narratives resurface. Their practice examines contemporary landscapes and the architectures that shape them, proposing counter-histories that blur linear time and challenge anthropocentric worldviews. Through fieldwork, model-making, and the attentive study of ornament, Xolo Cuintle constructs scenes where human absence becomes a generative condition and non-human presences take hold.

Their engagement with territories such as the Vallée de la Chimie exposes the difficulty of perceiving infrastructures designed beyond human scale, transforming this impossibility of seeing into a conceptual tool. In Chloroplast Machinery, the duo's latest institutional exhibition, chimneys, basins, and storage spheres reappear as distorted architectures inhabited by vegetal growths and a canine figure. Through concrete modeled in slow, layered gestures, their work enacts a contemporary mythopoiesis where fable and material become inseparable.
