Crystallisation #1, 2022. Scagliola (plaster), pigments, oil. 52 x 37 cm.
A series of works exploring crystallisation: crystallisation as encoded memory, the development of intimate reflection, an object which disappears into itself, drawing upon a poem by Christian Bök:
A crystal is nothing more / than a breeze blowing sand / into the form of a castle / or a film played backwards / of a window being smashed.
Une série d’œuvres qui explorent la cristallisation : la cristallisation comme mémoire encodée, le développement d’une réflexion intime, un objet qui disparaît en lui-même, s’inspirant d’un poème de Christian Bök :
Un cristal n’est rien de plus / qu’une brise soufflant du sable / dans la forme d’un château / ou un film passé à l’envers / d’une fenêtre que l’on brise.

A series of architectural drawings in scagliola. They are utopian, ironic, and parodic works, proposing constructions of buildings, statues, and monuments identifiable only by their shadows and traces. The rich marble surface is a citation, a trompe-l’oeil.

This work is a study of a domestic space bursting with references to the exterior. A fantasy, my own domain made within my 27m². Each object, each phantasm, playfully appropriates a different artistic strategy: liquidity, fake geology, moulding as a form-trap, formlessness, The Disappearance of the Object, etc.
Ce travail est une étude d'un espace domestique débordant de références à l’extérieur. Une fantaisie, mon propre domaine créé dans mes 27m². Chaque objet, chaque fantasme, s’approprie de manière ludique une stratégie artistique différente : la liquidité, la simili-géologie, le moulage comme piège à formes, l’informe, La disparition de l’objet, etc.
Produced for the exhibition La Relève III, Château de Servières, Marseille. Within the framework of Festival Parallèle 2021.n.
