About the artwork
Like Daniel Arsham's crystallized and eroded objects, it's now the turn of the Pikachu character from the Pokémon franchise to pass through the artist's hands. Thanks to the collaboration between the franchise and Daniel Arsham, this pop culture character, frozen in action and immersed in a fictional world, seems to have acquired the stature of an archaeological artifact.
Expert opinion
The result of the artist's first collaboration with the company, this work is as characteristic of Nintendo's Pokémon media franchise as it is of Daniel Arsham's work.

“I never try to be too obvious. It's like the idea of an object that decomposes or recomposes: everyone chooses their point of view.”
