Exercices d'interprétation

In my most recent project Le Présage (The Omen), I undertake an existential and poetic journey based on the idea of synchronicity. Rooted in the assumption that our existence is controlled by a predetermined destiny, I surrender to the rational mind in order to embrace a more subjective approach. The project consists in taking as a proof what falls into my hands and to assign specific interpretations to the most banal encounters. That relentless search for similarities, simultaneities and resemblances in order to create meaning reveals a quest that is both tragic and comic. In this project, the gray zone of subjectivity becomes an endless creative territory: a birthmark is seen as map, birds’ flights must be deciphered, rays of light are the physical manifestation of a parallel world. Instead of guiding the work towards a specific goal, the emphasis is placed on the acceptance of a state of wandering. The work consists in the creation of a route composed of a highly subjective chain of events in which the journey itself reveals more than its outcome.

An ongoing series of photograph/drawing depicting the flights of sparrows. Using a pencil, I connect the birds together with various types of patterns in a hopeless attempt to decipher their message.
