The particularity of my artistic work launches a fiction. The artwork becomes animated by the place expressing concepts of territoriality and specific identity to any physical existence: a place to be, to be defined, to affirm themselves, to live, to breathe… |

Descripció projecte

The world in which we evolve consists of four kingdoms: the plant, the mineral, the animal, and the human. They were conceived with the Genesis to live together in perfect harmony, developing and evolving by reciprocal contributions in total adequacy. Man uses his intelligence, or at least what it defines as such, to control the three other kingdoms. He profits more than for its vital needs require, from their apparent brittleness. Man thus forgot that he was only one of the components in the complex chain of life. Many of his actions and intrigues lead it to deteriorate and sometimes to destroy the original harmony. Its will of absolute domination was transformed into a threat for its own survival, and the perpetuity of the three other kingdoms. My artistic approach leads me to conceive and achieve hybrid forms that combine constituent physiques and creations of man, with mineral, animal, and plant components. These forms try to express the cohesion necessary in the harmony of the world. Thus, I sensitize the spectator with the need for reconciliation of mankind with the three other kingdoms that divide its universe |

The series of The lure (2004) is composed of ten photographs in big format are imprinted on silk cloth (127 x 154cm). The Lure’s representing glove plants, placed in situ so as to make belief that they come from nature. These photography’s suggest the influence of biotechnologies over the environment – objects/hands prepared with vegetable matter – sewn, stitched with string thread, weaved and produced on a small scale. Equivalences are established between the hand and the plant and between the skin and organic matter. These objects present themselves as objects of study – belonging to the sciences and occupying the center of the photographic image inspiring the botanical taxonomies to which this project makes reference. The hand motif is recurrent and recalls the important presence of humans and their relation to the environnement but the motif also appears as the sign of change in nature. Natural mutation as a biological phenomenon inscribes itself in the genes of living organisms and participates to organique changes of the current landscape. The photographs express this relation and the vital and reciprocal influence of the object in a place, in nature and to human nature. I propose a lure of biotechnologie as a result of experimentation and genetique manipulation. I hope his work prompts viewers to question modern agricultural practices, which have become, in his words, "dubious science" in the age of genetic engineering. |

My visual art references debates over genetically modified foods and cloning, mutation, creating biomorphic fantasies, hand-made consumer products and altered agricultural landscapes. I question dubious science in the age of genetic engineering. |
