Elegies Of Manumission
Elegy II - Private Utopias

2009/2010

Banality is a necessary consequence of the corrupted origin of most of our ambitions. Their origin is the society of the spectacle in which we are all submerged and of which it seems impossible to escape.

Elegies Of Manumission
Elegy I - Vertige

2008/2009

This project is in essence a vindication of Doubt as a crucial ethical value. Unsurprisingly deprecated today, it is the prime source of tolerance, progress, creativity and civilization. Doubt is arguably the origin of rebellion against darkness.

Elegy III - On the Uncertainty of Being

2010/2011

If years ago made sense to express the dominant anguish and distress through the representation of the diversity of the identical, the anxiety of nothingness, the repression of emotion and youth as integrated citizens; not anymore.

Propositions
Proposition Two - The Collection

2012

A Collection is a truth surrounded by many others worth exploring - uncritical semantics is the myth of a Collection in which the exhibits are meanings and the words are labels. To switch languages is to change the labels - since art is dead in the actual life of civilized nations, it has been relegated to these grotesque morgues, museums.

Propositions
Proposition One - Only the Ephemeral

2011

In constructing this photo-installation my concerns are: the consequences of today’s accelerated embracement of new technologies and formats in the art practice; the political implications of technical and functional obsolescence; and the conflicts involved in the concept of progress.
