When words are not enough, the image, the emotion and the interpretation, the face of impermanence.

The sculpted body
NEW
Il est tellement difficile de se synchroniser. La compatibilité ne serait qu'un entrelacs de nœuds et d'incertitudes. Des liens et des nœuds, une série consacrée aux relations qui nous lient, celles que nous choisissons, celles qui nous sont imposées, qui nous emplissent de joie ou qui, quelquefois nous tuent à petit feu. Parce que ces liens qui nous nourrissent, nous font grandir, nous épanouir, sont les mêmes que ces nœuds qui nous asservissent, nous détruisent et nous avilissent. Quand les liens s'entremêlent sans fin jusqu'à qu'enfin ils se fixent.

The sculpted body
The secret body is followed by the discreet body. With a discreet body, a provocative body. With a provocative body, a trashy body. With a trashy body, a problem-free body. The protest stadium has died down. We enter neutral. The nude is naked as the sky is the sky. It is no longer a problem, a problem that moralists love.

The body as a place of trouble
The new Vitruvius
Caught in multiple and scattered representations, reconstructing the unity of the body and reappropriating it.
The body, witness to our relationship to the world, to others, the idealized body, the subject body, the object body, the rejected body, draws and defines the contours of our individuality and the limits of our integrity.
The body bears witness to a turmoil, caught between desire and shame. It is a site of interference and confusion, of transgressions and assertions of identity. Eroticized, emotions "erupt," dominate, and rage without control or restraint.
The body, a witness to gender. Exhibited, it constructs and deconstructs it, masculinity called into question. Thus, one reshapes one's worldview with complete subjectivity in order to dare to idealize beauty.
The body as a witness to an era. The language of the body and its representations, magnified, admired, idolized and dreamed of.

Fragile
We label the sensations of childhood with names that we learn, adults and we evoke with brio and aplomb the "anguish", "despair" or "happiness" of the past (...) All these words n made no sense to us at that time; what we lacked, children, was precisely the power of designation and order of language; also, when we describe the emotions of one moment in our life with the language of another, we only stick labels on hermetically sealed trunks, qualifying as "fragile" or "perishable" content that we do not could not recognize even if we were given the opportunity, one day, to see him again.
