EXHIBITION HISTORY(OPTIONAL) |
: « Un sauvage » is about those who leave for a simple journey or for a better life. Those who have decided to draw their borders and territories. Those who follow their own line and who dream of freedom. « Un sauvage » is the day after the big day, the day of the longed-for departure. It is also the day of an inexorable shipwreck. « Un sauvage » is the story of those who, captive of a makeshift boat, are abandoned at sea under an overwhelming sun, with others. Many others. Like them. Migrants. Who dreamed of this « better world » that now considers them unworthy. Which treats them like savages. This is the story of a rescue that will never come. It is a line of horizon or arrival, a line of flight or political, a line of life, of floating and finally a line of sight.... « Un sauvage » is the story of a shipwreck. Ours, no doubt. The shipwreck a model of democracy. Of an ideal. It is the observation of a consented brutality, of our egoism, of our individual and collective cowardice which is transformed into a human catastrophe... immense, which ends up blowing up in our faces. « Un sauvage » is a feeling of helplessness. « Un sauvage » has also been created for a large wall in the city for a French Urban Art Festival, Muralis. |
