Simon Laveuve’s 1/35-scale miniature dwellings, built around rocks and stilts, will be shown in his Paris solo exhibition, Ancré dans la roche. The exhibition is scheduled for November 12 to December 22, 2026, at Loo & Lou Gallery; the gallery is also set to present his work at Luxembourg Art Week.
French artist Simon Laveuve’s 1/35-scale miniature dwellings, assembled on rocks and stilts with signs of everyday life but no visible residents, are the focus of Ancré dans la roche, a solo exhibition scheduled to open November 12 at Loo & Lou Gallery in Paris. The show will run through December 22, according to Colossal’s report on the exhibition and the artist’s work.
The mixed-media works depict precarious homes perched above or anchored to uneven rock formations. Their small surroundings include chairs, produce boxes and fishing gear, alongside objects that appear repurposed as tools or furnishings. Although figures do not appear in the scenes, these details suggest residents have been using the spaces and may have stepped away briefly.
Colossal identifies several works dated 2026, including Eau-delà Du Gouffre / IDF2068, a mixed-media piece measuring 63 by 32 by 22 centimeters. Other listed works include Le Graveur D’Épitaphe / Les Étoiles, L’Observateur / IDF2068, L’Usine Des Veilleurs / IDF2068 and Demain Sera Comme Hier / IDF2068. The report gives different dimensions for each work and describes the pieces as 1/35 scale.
The exhibition title translates as “Anchored in Rock.” Loo & Lou Gallery is also scheduled to present Laveuve’s work at Luxembourg Art Week from November 20 to 22. The available report does not specify whether the fair presentation will include the same works as the Paris exhibition.
Small Homes, Larger Pressures
The installations make fragile housing the subject of a physical miniature environment. Their makeshift structures and carefully arranged objects suggest how people might adapt a place to live with materials at hand. That reading is supported by the artist’s own description of the work as being about finding a place to hold on, though the broader connection to current political and economic turbulence is an interpretation presented in the exhibition report, not a specific claim about an individual real-world community.
The absent residents shape how viewers encounter the pieces: the objects imply routines without depicting the people who perform them. At a compact 1/35 scale, the works invite close attention to those traces. The scheduled gallery exhibition gives audiences a chance to see the models directly, while the concurrent art-week presentation places Laveuve’s work before visitors to another event. The report does not provide attendance forecasts or other measures of the show’s expected reach.

Laveuve’s Rock-Anchored Dwellings
Colossal describes the dwellings as part of a post-apocalyptic body of work centered on anonymous builders who make homes in unexpected, often precarious locations. The structures are set on stilts or against boulders, while their interiors and surrounding details suggest practical, improvised living rather than abandoned scenery.
The report connects the exhibition title to this recurring idea of finding an anchorage in difficult conditions. It also describes the settings as a metaphor for life amid contemporary political and economic turbulence. The source does not identify a specific disaster, conflict or place that the miniatures represent, so the works should not be read as documentary depictions of a particular settlement on the information available.
““The work speaks to this fundamental need: finding a place to hold on. And, from that point of anchorage, to live.””
— Simon Laveuve, speaking to Colossal

Exhibition Details Still Limited
The scheduled dates and venues are reported, but the source provides no full exhibition checklist, ticketing information, opening hours or details about public programming. It also does not state whether the works listed are all the pieces that will be shown, or whether the Luxembourg Art Week presentation will feature new or overlapping work.
The source describes the miniatures as post-apocalyptic and presents them as a metaphor, but it does not name a real-world event or population as their subject.
