🐺 The Butcher (2023)

The Butcher is about animals/Talking and talking/And now driven to the slaughterhouse/It is about a play/That is never played/Because the actors/Will always be rehearsing/The actors are five animals/Five animals are interpreted by humans/So it is/The Butcher is about a mise en abyme/A play in a play in a play/It is about politics/And this weird fucking world/The Butcher is about reality/And the time we are going through/It is all about fiction/And hopefully it is a nice story.

⏳ 🐟🎬 The Source Underneath The Bunker (2022)

The stream starts in a bunker and ends in the parliament. The stream is a cyborg: all its course has been modified by human will. It’s born in a concrete source, flowing from the cement scars to the pipes, crossing through gardens of embassies and epuration station, barely catching a breath in a public park before sinking back into the ground. Crushed by the grand canal it needs its own pump - steel prothesis grafted on its snake body - to return to the surface. It ends in the parliament. From bunker to parliament, from war scars to power wires.

Art­is­te ini­tia­teur de pra­ti­ques col­lec­ti­ves,

je considère l’art et le design comme des outils pour imaginer d'autres organisations possibles de société.

Mes projets se construisent sur des narrations qui visent à engager des réflexion politiques, en lien avec des problématiques socio-environnementales, aussi bien qu’à créer un espace de participation, un espace d’échanges et de débat, de relation et de commun.

Plus particulièrement, dans mon projet de master intitulé The Butcher (2023), j’ai exploré ces thèmes à travers une fiction créée collectivement, utilisant les outils de représentations comme le théâtre, afin de réfléchir, avec les participants et le public, à l’état social et politique du monde

J’utilise particulièrement les représentations animales, anthropomorphisme et zoomorphisme, comme des moyens narratifs qui compliquent la classification et la séparation des êtres et les stéréotypes associés, ainsi que comme point de départ d’une réflexion politique sur les relations aux vivants, le commun, et la révolte.

Mes histoires sont celles de résistances, réelles ou imaginaires. Par exemple Aujourd’hui is a wild animal, réalisée pour l’exposition Compulsives Desires (Galerie Municipale de Porto) présente des scènes à Covas de Barroso (Portugal), dans la forêt de Hambach (Allemagne) et à Lota (Chili). Contre l'assujettissement de la montagne par l'industrie minière, ces scènes dépeignent la montagne, ses forces et ses bêtes, luttant contre l'extractivisme destructeur, par la colère, la célébration et le désir.

As an art­ist in­it­iat­ing coll­ect­ive pra­cti­ces,

I consider art and design as tools to reflect on other organisation of societies.

Through my projects, I explore narratives that aim to engage political reflection, in connection with socio-environmental issues, as well as to create a space for participation, sharing and debate, relationship and common.

I worked on these themes in my Master's project « The Butcher » (2023), building a collective fiction with the participant and the public. We used narratives tools such as theatre in order to think about the social and political situation of the world.

I especially use animal representations (anthropomorphism and zoomorphism), as tools which complicate the classification and the separation of beings, and the associated stereotypes.It is besides a way to reflect on relationships with the living beings, the common and the rebellion.

My stories are those of resistances, real or imagined. For intance, Aujourd'hui is a wild animal, Specifically commissioned for the exhibition « Compulsives Desires » (Porto Municipal Gallery), the painting showcase scenes from Covas de Barroso (Portugal), Hambach Forest (Germany) and Lota (Chile). In contrast to the mining industry's logic of subjugating the mountain and its inhabitants, these stories depict the mountain, its forces, and beasts fighting extractivism and countering its defuturing effects through indignation, revenge, celebration, and desire.
