A Plastic Tool

“You simply do not know what you are looking at” is the starting point of my present artistic research. With images, I intend to create an emotional, poetical and critical language.

The work « A Plastic Tool » is an ensemble of a serie of banner-prints, an artist book and a video collage. Using large format images stolen from advertisement techniques, I invite to a physical reading of images. My impetus is to surprise the spectator with heterogeneous, unconventional amalgams of visual ensembles. What do you see? How do you receive images? What is still relevant in the contemporary context?

To primarily question the photographic medium itself, I distort the linear narrative, intervening with painting and collages, freely playing with the analogic and the digital.
I create a dense, but yet intimate visual language. I search for images that have a direct and a loud impact or on the opposite, that are subtile and fragile, tinged with mystery, blurring the perception.
