Clones (selection).<\/h1>\n

Between the early 1990s and 2001, Gilles Barbier experimented with the clone series. Derived from the “Pawns<\/a><\/em>“This series features life-size, hyperrealistic wax representations of himself, staged in a variety of situations. Often very large in size, these devices evoke the artist in less-than-stellar attitudes, in which the latter, by turns amnesiac, swallowed, humiliated, priapic, open like meat from a stall, suicidal or a petomaniac, ventures into a dubious social body while mocking his own condition. <\/p>\n

At the same time, however, he experiments with this series as a crossing of bodies, tenants of plastic, aesthetic and horizontal identities, manipulated and interchangeable. These stand in stark contrast to the depth and verticality of classical portraiture. This proclaimed objective is rejected here. <\/p>\n
