Example text
I created series of works from images representing virgins, pietàs and saints. Those images of women religiously integrated and shown as models that I was meant to embrace – I used them with a critical distance. I invested myself in them, as one slides one’s fingers into the glove of a puppet, making them freely speak of something else or magnifying the features of their messages. Appropriating those images, trying to decode them, deconstructing imagery to re-assemble it in a profane frame: finally using them for my own interior construction and as materials to construct my work.
During the week: Fine Arts (before the reform) copies of plasterworks, drawings of chestnuts in autumn, bottles, leeks, onions . . ORLAN doesn’t cry, she dances modern (even though before the fine arts she painted abstract, lyrical, painterly) they cut hers off! . She smokes a pipe, loves Georges Sand, and gets the hell out of there! Before her first love, kabyle, she pops the cork with bottles of beer and champagne and let it pop! No cork, it runs in the family, her mother too liked champagne .
Interfolds: hybridities and flux Recent decades have been marked by the journey from a culture of stability and objects to a culture of instability and flux, changing our relation to time and space. Deterritorialized, space is re-territorialized by the copy, the nostalgic kitsch or the recycled quotation from the past. Fluid, with multiple connections, time is ultra-fast, mechanical and ephemeral, with its rhythm and events. We have moved from the image-crystal of modernism, with its allegories of glass and mirror, to what I have called the image-flux, with its lines, traces and tracks worked on computers, which offer an ‘aesthetic of ephemerality’ (Buci-Glucksmann 2003).
