Untitled (Montauciel) by Adler Guerrier is a gestural homage to the experiments of the Mongolfier brothers. In a live demonstration at Versailles. On September 19, 1783, before King Louis XVI of France and Queen Marie Antoinette, the Montgolfier brothers placed a sheep named Montauciel (ascends to heaven), a rooster and a duck in a basket as passengers in hot air balloon flight that lasted 8 minutes. When the balloon safely landed, it proved the air was breathable at the relative altitude reached in flight.
