VIDEO – WHITE NOISE (7 minutes in loop)

A sound piece/video, one voice recites a poem extracted from Ovid’s Metamorphosis in Latin. Woodlands and hills burn, rivers boil, the Earth’s entire surface bursts apart. In this extreme circumstance, Earth speaks to Jupiterian capitalism and warns: “Look around: Both poles are steaming! If fire melts them, your own temples shall collapse!”.

VIDEO – LES MOUCHES (12 minutes in loop)

All quotidian events, meaningless and banal, hide a tragedy. The video opens with Marguerite Duras’ words “…Je vais parler de rien. De rien.”. But in the enclosed universe of the video frame, the presence of death becomes hypnotic and unbearable. The drawing power of consumption continues to be irresistible even in the face of self-annihilation.

PHOTOGRAPHS (20 photos)

Nature just after a catastrophe that covered the skies with dust and ashes. Time stops for a few minutes before decay and extermination begins. Primary colors fade into darkness. Mute coordinates in the galaxy where life still endures in the form of extremophile bacteria.

INSTALLATION (25 photos printed on natural silk, variable sizes)

A forest of silk banners which the visitor must cross.
