Project Description
…It is fantasy itself,fantasy brought to light, in daylight . It is appropriate since the mask is everything. A humdrum background, life, universe. Las Vegas, Boston, new Orleans, New York, an environment after the other, flashes of colours, superposed postures. You never have the same sky, rarely the same costume, but always the same echoing feelings which, according to their tones, make you plunge from dream into nightmare. You are entranced at this American daylight where mildness and heat meet into a savage discrepancy . You feel there is something unusual when this coveted glamour trips against its own glow and crashes into reality. A false reality, a true falsity. A feeling of noise, of intense buzzing, like low-voltage, perceptible through its vibrations. A noise which slowly tears up, gradually strips . A grand striptease in which the girls appear lonely in their caricature, bound by their intimacy… - Frank Richard. February, 2003Exhibitions (Excerpt)
