Equilibrium<\/h1>\n

(…) I have a special relationship with books. I’ve been disturbed enough to copy the dictionary<\/a> for over thirty years. But books are also libraries. The elevation, the construction, the arrangement. (…) But nothing ever fits, and all my attempts to rationalize its accumulation are systematically doomed to failure. Similarly, the architecture of our inner library is far more chaotic and dynamic than a simple alignment by genre or author, size or edition, old or new… <\/p>\n

The “Equilibrium” series sketches out that unstable, fragile and improbable interiority we sometimes call “culture”. A loathsome, pretentious word that I’d gladly swap for “brothel”. A place where knowledge and moods are exchanged, with gusto and appetite. Where more or less rickety shacks are built, secret alcoves where genres, categories and classes intermingle in unavowable liaisons… Because, as we all know, culture is something you tinker with only to fall apart, a chronic Tower of Babel… <\/p>\n

Equilibrium” retraces this faltering plasticity. Picking up here and there, and constructing edifices that threaten ruin. Produced in gouache on paper, the smaller works measure 50 x 65 cm, the larger 190 x 148 cm, and are all dated 2023. <\/p>\n
