Margot Lasalle - France
Margot Lasalle, aka Soleil Noir, is a Breton sculptress who describes herself as a “stone peeler”, searching for the pre-existing sculpture within the stone. She specializes in monumental sculpture, with her latest piece Candide standing 5.70 meters (8 feet, 8 inches) tall. She works primarily in granite, but also explores wood, metal, and paper through sculpture and immersive installations.
Across all her work, touch and texture are central: a sculpture succeeds when the viewer places their hand on it and walks around it. AtArt Capital 2026 (Grand Palais), she won the “Esprit Libre” prize by the IDA (International Association of Designers and Artists).
Pauline Berger - Germany
Pauline Berger of Germany is a multidisciplinary artist, sculptor, educator and herder. Her work spans sculpture, installation, performance, and video, and explores how bodies and minds are shaped and challenged by pressure and restraint, contemporary work culture and digital life.
Experiences become part of her artistic expression, both conceptually and physically. Core themes in her practice include self-optimization, resistance, physical presence and care, but also curiosity to creative and transformative phenomena in biology/geology. Her works have been featured in numerous exhibitions in Germany, Norway and the Netherlands. Working collectively, forming friendships, and fostering dialogue are key to her way of making and being in the world.
