à propos

A tale. A futurist tale that unfolds in the present at the Samaritaine construction site. A tale of compassionate characters who are different, moving and who boldly challenge the notion of gender. They are present in all their fragility and strength, immediately united by soft, gently vibrant colors, seeking not to represent but to transmit emotion, to evoke. A solid university education in philosophy and the visual arts (Arles and then Le Fresnoy) gave the artist the tools for complex investigations that bridge science and images for an encompassing consideration of  what representation means at a time when humanity is experiencing multiple mutations.

Résumé : Paris, 2020, post-apocalypse. Quatre apocalyptiques (Pi, Stella Absinthia, Transistor et La Rata) en accueillent une cinquième, Albertine X, au sein du bâtiment déserté de la Samaritaine qu'ils ont investi, et où ils vivront leur ultime métamorphose - avant de faire place aux autres espèces.
