ARTISTERIUM 2012
I have been inspired by the reading of anthropologists such as P. Descola and B. Latour who put the stress on the fact that we-as modernists have the tendency to distinguish nature from culture, secular from sacred in a dualist cosmogony. Through them, I have
discovered that other way of configuring the world can be possible : analogism, totemism and animism.
I have tried to incorporate the latter in my work, in a sort of melting where we are not any more in a relationship in front of the world but in a relationship with the world. The artist and the art are not two separated entities but a recovered unit.
