He then destroyed all his works.
In the mid seventies, saved by his encounter with Corinne, he resumes his artistic work: pebbles, bark, pieces of wire are being picked up in the fields then listed and assembled. A.C.M. give his objects another life, they become gradually stand-alone sculptures.
From the nineties, he develops a new typology of works. After selecting broken parts from old typing writers, alarm clocks, transistor radios or electronic pieces, A.C.M. transforms them: cleaning, sanding, acid bath, oxidation.
He then creates architectures, which convey at the same time a sense of monumentality and of fragility, like miniature hyper structures. Béatrice Steiner names him “an architect of the emptiness”. Whereas Corinne Marié refers to him as a manipulator of effects, creating the crumbling, the disaggregation, to engender poetically a past, a history, some roots.”
These cathedrals of another world offer a multitude of facets, likes labyrinths made of mirrors
