INSTALLATIONS
Installations, performances, sound and staging...
This experimental part of my work gives me the opportunity to reinterpret my pictorial practice in a space, in correlation with other elements.
The real or felt presence. Dialogue with the viewer and collaboration with other artists are the real place to nourish the evolution of my work.
"INTIMATE MEETING",
Installation, performance and paintings, 2024
'Stack', Oil on canvas, 18 x 13 cm
“Intimate meeting”
Installation, paintings and a performance played by the artist Eugenio Shapoval.
I presented this installation as an immersion in an intimate space. Between the real and the imaginary of painting, nourishing the idea that one and the other are intertwined.
It was a space giving access to the exhibition a series of paintings "Windows".
Solo show "Itinerari" presented during the Barcelona ArtNou festival here in Espronceda, centre of art and culture .
'Books', Oil on canvas, 190 x 150 cm, 2017
"ELSA",
Installation, performance and painting, 2021
Elsa is at home.
She writes frantically on small pieces of paper. You can see her through her window, between the curtains.
But at one point Elsa decides to leave her house and come and offer one of her little texts to you and to everyone who was watching her. Who was being watched, voyeurs ?
Performance during the collective exhibition "Conversations" at Espronceda, centre of art and culture, in 2021.
"VUE QU'ELLE... "
Installation, performance, painting, 2019
*'Vue qu'elle...', Oil on wood, 24 x 33,5 cm, 2019
“Vue qu’elle…” is an installation connecting an oil painting*, a box (mixed media, 120 x 120 x 190 cm), a model and a performance with the formidable actress Caroline Donnelly.
This intervention returns the spectator to the exhibition context, in which he is confronted with a certain regulation of approach to the works and therefore of the gaze.
An actress is disguised as a museum guard and when a spectator approaches to look, she surprises him by looking at him in turn. She confronts him with his behavior and his desire to see.
“Everything is here” “Don't touch”. “No flash.”
This installation and performance was presented the collective exhibition: “Fiction, Friction” at LaVallée in Brussels in 2019 and at the “Tradition Does Graduate 2019” Exhibition of the Laureates of the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Brussels inn 2019 .
"IMPRESSARIO "
Installation and painting, 2017
A painting that emits sounds.
You have to get closer to hear. A path, sounds, impalpable impressions in front of this man - an impresario.
First installation carried out during my studies and giving rise to my first work in collaboration with another artist.
My intention was above all to experiment with installation as a way of nourishing my pictorial practice as well as my interest in making it a dialogue with the viewer.
The sound is a mix of dream stories received from Mathile, one of the speakers in one of my projects at the time. A few months earlier, I gave a notebook to 10 people so that every morning they could write down the story of their dreams still fresh from the night. Mathilde preferred to send me her stories in the form of voice messages, which allowed the creation of this installation.
