FIRST CYCLE: \u00ab I AM HERE \u00bb<\/span><\/h2>\n

Facing the void of a studio repainted in white to isolate myself, fifty-four identical square fragments (29 \u00d7 29 cm) deploy to fill the surface of my largest wall. The single color poured over my first gestures acts as a mechanical constraint: it pushes the fat matter, freezes, and binds the whole together.<\/span>
En amont, anticiper le volume final de cette production journali\u00e8re impose la recherche d\u2019un syst\u00e8me de classification. En m\u2019appuyant sur les tables de mortalit\u00e9 de l\u2019\u00e9poque, j\u2019initie le d\u00e9compte math\u00e9matique de mes jours restants.<\/span>
Against this countdown, I confront a naive memory from my adolescence: the musical consonance of a sung foreign language. Uttering the title in English concludes the inhabitation of the square.<\/span><\/p>\n

12410 \u2013 \u00ab Death dresses up as a frog \u00bb \u2013 The first fragment of the Carte \u2013 Blue series.<\/span><\/p>\n
