In recent years, I developed my work around the presentation modes (display<\/i>). By studying the mechanisms of exposure and arrangement of museums and stores, I gradually extracted strategies of presentation that fed my work process. I enjoy observing how products, objects or artworks are shown, exploring and revealing the underlying methods that are used to value them, sometimes even by fetishizing them. I distort the aesthetics borrowed from design to question the status and the hierarchy of the shown object, sometimes creating in this way a confusion of roles between the presented object and the display<\/i> as an object.<\/p>\n

\u00ab\u2009Magritte goes to a grocer\u2019s shop near his house to buy Dutch cheese. The merchant leans towards her stall to pick up a started piece but has her movement almost directly stopped by the painter\u00a0:<\/p>\n

– No, madam. Not this one. I\u2019d rather buy this other one.<\/p>\n

And he points at a second piece, started as well, placed a bit on the side, on a shelf.<\/p>\n

– But it\u2019s the same cheese\u00a0! The merchant shouts.<\/p>\n

– No, madam, Magritte objects again. The one on the stall has been observed by the passersby all day long.\u2009\u00bb<\/p>\n

(Mari\u00ebn Marcel, Suivre<\/i> \u00e0<\/i> Magritte<\/i>, dans L\u2019Art<\/i> Belge<\/i>, January 1968.)<\/p>\n

Manger<\/i> avec<\/i> les<\/i> yeux<\/i> is an installation that hinges on this anecdote told by Marcel Mari\u00ebn. Here in the window, the cheese is replaced by a turning cake tray, without cake. I invite the passersby to contemplate this object of presentation stripped of its function and to \u00ab\u2009consume\u2009\u00bb it with their eyes.<\/p>\n
