ＯＮ ＶｉＥＷ

Some views of my current solo show, “Birds”, in Hamburg.

Several series will be presented together, challenging the narrative of images by questioning the viewer’s perception. Reminiscence of a present that is no longer there, hypnotic sweetness drawn from a disaster, a colorful frame as an evocation of the diffusion of a current image, and its industrialisation beyond its origin.

Thanks to Dr. Petra Roettig, former Head of the contemporary art collection at the Hamburger Kunsthalle Museum, for the introduction speech about the exhibition

Car crashed 2 all over the wall… Through the use of a plastic vocabulary referring to image building and its diffusion, Car crashed 2 takes part of the continuity of research about limits of images, their materiality and the questioning of their subject.
