We ask antique dealer to buy old tennis racket when they find some, in village sales, antique shop or in specific websites.
Most often, we can get them by unit and it becomes difficult to get some
The board is done by 3 slices of 17 rackets, that mean it’s necessary to find 51 rackets,we need a long time to find that quantity
The panel is done with old vintage planks, in pine, coming from old siding shed, most often from Quebec or Belgium
When we get all material, we build a panel of more or less 2x2m and put the first racket level, which is composed by the less interesting ones, then a 2nd level, put on the rackets of the 1° level, finally the 3rd and last level, using the most interesting rackets, putting them just over the first layer.
There is a link between each racket to be fixed together, it’s a kind of « high fashion »
It’s a personnal composition, each pannel is different, only 5 has been done, cf. below photos
2 years ago, Roland Garros asked us for 20 pieces, to decorate their new extension, but I was not able to supply them, as I didn’t found our the rackets -> more than 1000 was needed !!!
