My artistic practice lies at the junction of sculpture, performance and language, where I develop discomfort as a means of drawing attention, triggering transformation and generating friction. Influenced by a dual heritage, both working-class and symbolic, I work with humble materials and everyday gestures to spark spaces of exchange, tension and narrative.<\/p>\n
Cognitive dissonance, this state of discomfort in which conflicting ideas and perceptions coexist, is at the core of my approach. I embrace formal ambiguities, straddling furniture, prosthesis and sculpture, while twisting language through puns in order to craft situations where points of reference start to shift, where art collides with banality, politics and life.<\/p>\n
In this window, I present ALREADYMADE n\u00b03: Empty Cart or Cardboard Cybertruck<\/em>: an absurd sculpture that hijacks the high-tech, security-laden imagination behind the Tesla vehicle. Chrome\u2019s arrogance here meets cardboard\u2019s fragility: a flashy, unstable and porous simulacrum. The fantasy of power becomes a precarious accessory, the promise of strength, an improvised fiction.<\/p>\n Through this empty, low-tech cart, I aim to question contemporary myths of technological invincibility. This cardboard proposition is not mere parody: it acts as a distorted mirror of a faltering desire for control. A bittersweet dissonance to be activated, handled and reconfigured, inviting us to embrace differently the objects in which we place our faith.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":4813,"template":"","exposition":[51],"class_list":["post-4859","vitrine","type-vitrine","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","exposition-en17"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/artaucentre.be\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/vitrine\/4859","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/artaucentre.be\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/vitrine"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/artaucentre.be\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/vitrine"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/artaucentre.be\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4813"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/artaucentre.be\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4859"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"exposition","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/artaucentre.be\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/exposition?post=4859"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
