UNTIL THE CONCRETE, 2016
frames of video
video projection on concrete
80x120x10 cm
In Until Concrete (2016), the artist cuts out colored paper with his hand in a spiral motion. The plane becomes a circle and the circle in point until the color is confused with the concrete. The irregularity of the movement and the imperfection of the edges lend physical force to the image of a moving painting made by the subtraction of color.

The book whose title baptizes the work is placed on sheets of pink paper. A hand comes in to perform the same gesture dozens of times: wrapping and unwrapping the book using the various sheets. After time, we see them torn, worn, broken, shattered. From the first to the last frame the hands accelerate their process of construction / destruction. The post-war victorious American civilization was also the daughter of the worst side effects of progress.
DÉCOUVERTE DES AMÉRICAINS [DISCOVERY OF THE AMERICANS], 2013

Video projection, audio

28 min. 14 seg.em loop
In Découverte des Américains the analogy with neoconcretism is intentional. fixed camera, a high-pitched yellow, solar, tinges the wall in the background. The floor is taken by white sand. Cellophane papers of different colors held by two hands at the top of the screen fall, one by one.
Half parangoles, half space reliefs. At a first moment each sheet is flat, once released, falling at random, it becomes three-dimensional. Painting gains space, color as a vibrating field becomes manifest as opposed to monochrome, the random, not the order, is the target. Ephemeral sculptures exhibit their spasm of life.

On a black background a hand lights a match stick and drops it on this burning and reveals behind another white plane. Again now over white background lit a match burning and opens it revealing another black plane and so the physical touch of the lit matchstick on the colors reveal its opposite.
