Aire - installation at Gallery "4 Barbier",
Nîmes (France), on an invitation by Esca - 2009
Aire is a response to the speed of the forgetful
nature of life. This idea of happiness that I build myself: an islet,
the sea, the sun, the sand, I float free from all concerns, the
levitation personified. In this area the time has stopped, the air
has solidified the garlands, stiffened the towel, stopped the balloon
in his rise and the crazy race of the kite. "A step a side" from
the seascape projected in a video loop ( with a sea continually
repeated).
"Everything is there. In this very immobility, made
palpable, waiting in an area where there is nothing to wait for,
where utopia is out of place or postponed, like in a egg. " "This
snapshot is an invitation to the quiet pleasure of being, the self-cultivation,
resistance to "mécroissance"(stunted growth). Wher do
we stop? Be brave , let's freeze!
