Stone Oven House presents Tra Due, a photographic series by Simon Lambrey that investigates the liminality of vision and movement—the moment of hesitation between worlds, the fleeting threshold between here and there. A step, a glance, an imperceptible shift in perspective: Lambrey’s work engages with these intangible transitions, mapping the difficulty of passage through space and perception.

A polymath whose practice spans art and science, Lambrey was initially trained in stone carving and modeling at the École des Beaux-Arts in Beauvais. Torn between artistic creation and academic inquiry, he pursued a PhD in Cognitive Sciences at the École normale supérieure de Lyon, where he studied spatial perception. His research into how the mind constructs and navigates physical space continues to inform his artistic approach, merging materiality with conceptual depth.

Lambrey’s work resists easy categorization. Over the years, he has experimented with primitive firing techniques, explored ceramic glazing, and worked with wood and metal sculpture, drawing from a diverse set of methodologies to refine his visual lexicon. Tra Due is a testament to this layered process—his photographs exist in the interstices of form and movement, holding space for the in-between, the almost, the not-yet.

Lambrey currently lives and works in Paris.
