Temps d'arrêt / Break time

Wild exhibition on https://youtu.be/B6V21J1xRkc Waiting for a bus or a tram. Without impatience. Resting for a while, thinking of nothing, or just about what really matters. Days go by. Sitting down and wondering at everyday life. Dodging the routine, the absurd. In short, to install a break time. The real world ? Often there is fear, chaos. Or boredom. Everywhere screens, like shields of glass: screens of televisions, computers, phones... Everywhere screens - and also the camera screen - as if to glaze over the real. Putting it in a box to protect ourselves from it, to disguise it or to be entertained. And sometimes, to try to enchant the real. Reflections of true artists drive somehow my work : - Pour qu’une chose soit intéressante, il suffit de la regarder longtemps. * Anything becomes interesting if you look at it long enough. Flaubert Lettre à Alfred Poitevin, sept. 1845) - L’œuvre d’art : un arrêt du temps * The work of art : a stop time. Pierre Bonnard, Carnets. - La présence physique de la couleur, la joie qu'elle me procure est au cœur de mes préoccupations. * The physical presence of color, the joy it gives me is at the heart of my concerns.
