La pratique de Xavier Bauer relève d’un visible entièrement tourné vers le tangible. Photographies, moulages et empreintes de toutes sortes : ses pièces se manifestent toujours sur le mode de l’indice. Les différentes techniques de reproduction qu’il utilise visent à produire de la trace ; de l’original, il ne subsiste qu’un écho, un signal altéré et affaibli. Seuils de fragilité et seuils de visibilité deviennent alors constitutifs d’un certain état du visible. Dans des œuvres à la vulnérabilité assumée affleurent de grandes catastrophes, auxquelles elles opposent une résistance aussi fragile que tenace.
