‘‘Sleep’’ makes reference to the eponymous video by Andy Warhol.
Playing the role of John Giomo, I live my sleep as a refuge good for inaction. So forth, I avoid physical constraints and the productivity logics of the current world.
The irruption of the tutelary figure of Warhol won’t last to break this quiet alienation, shaking me and asking me to wake up and work (“Wake up, it’s time to work and be famous”).
By reflection game, a forgotten Art History sneaks in the repetitive logic by a linear conception of progress. The cylindrical specificity of the video could also foreshadow the dreamed back of welfare intercity unrelenting between repression and regression in a nightmare like atmosphere.
Born in 1979 in Versailles. After having an education in literature, option in plastic arts in high school, I integrated the Ecole des Beaux Arts of Rouen where I obtained my Diplôme National Superieur d’Expression Plastique this year. The work I developed uses drawing and video animation to illustrate the theme of doubt and difficulty to create. Making grotesque games with the art history, I give a free hand to interpretations of my incertitude and inhibitions. When I left the Beaux Arts, I took part in the exhibition “Sommeil” a the Chapelle du Genêteil in Château-Gontier.
