"Measurements of Bojan Šarčević’s work" was made using the work itself,
with assistance from the registrar at Mudam Museum of Modern Art in Luxembourg. The challenge was to transfer as exactly
as possible the measurements of a part of Bojan Šarčević’s original: a fragile, irregular tree branch. The measurements help
define the works to be copied and provide an experience of their materiality, while at the same time obscuring them so as to
to focus on the way they are approached. (from the exhibition booklet, La Ferme du Buisson CAC, Noisiel/Paris, 2018)

During the month of August 2018, Béatrice Balcou spent time physically traveling to meet works by artist Yuki Okumura - most of them stored in various collections in Tokyo - and measuring them. Some very vague spatial indications of the works are written in the bottom of the drawings, conjuring up her itinerary in a manner more poetic than geographical.
