Emballez, c’est pes\u00e9 !<\/b> <\/i><\/b> La s\u00e9rie joue sur la logique de l’instant et de l’\u00e9ph\u00e9m\u00e8re. Les journaux publient tous les jours des informations qui sont caduques apr\u00e8s quelques heures. Les chalutiers rapportent du poisson frais, qui ne le reste \u2013frais\u2013 qu’un court moment. Et, traditionnellement sur les march\u00e9s, on emballe les uns dans les autres.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Du poisson frais dans des nouvelles fra\u00eeches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Techniquement, je joue avec la particularit\u00e9 du papier journal : tr\u00e8s absorbant, fragile. Je le maroufle sur support blanc et lisse, pour accentuer le contraste entre ces deux types de supports. Mes poissons sont alors trac\u00e9s et peints \u00e0 l’aquarelle, dans un jeu entre transparence et opacit\u00e9. La fragilit\u00e9 du journal impose une rapidit\u00e9 d’ex\u00e9cution qui rejoint la notion d’instantan\u00e9it\u00e9 \u00e9voqu\u00e9e plus haut. Enfin, je vernis parfois les poissons (mais pas le journal) pour sugg\u00e9rer l’aspect mouill\u00e9 du poisson frais. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n Aquarelle et collages, 50×65 cm et 25×65 cm<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n WRAP IT UP !<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n The serie is a riff on the logic of the moment and its ephemerality.\u00a0 <\/span>What newspapers publish is obsolete in a matter of hours.\u00a0 <\/span>The freshness of fish brought back by trawlers is equally evanescent.\u00a0 <\/span>Traditionally, in markets, one is wrapped in the other. \u00a0 \u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Fresh fish in fresh news.<\/span><\/p>\n Technically, I\u2019m guided by the distinctive characteristics of newsprint, in particular its absorbency and fragility.
