Feux d'artifice
Fireworks and explosive materials are unleashed here in polymerised petroleum gel. The product excludes any humidity, absorbing and freezing the final instant of the explosion, enfolding the entire geometrical figure. This is a moment crystallised in gel, the force of a blast caught as a model of enforced propagation. The artist seeks to describe the striking power of fireworks and explosive materials by encapsulating them in polymerised petroleum gel. The product excludes any humidity, absorbing and freezing the final instant of the explosion, enfolding the entire geometrical figure. This is a moment crystallised in gel, the force of a blast caught as a model of enforced, but encompassed, propagation. Embedded in a wall or resting on the ground, his explosions will immerse the spectator in space, creating new perceptions and unsettling encounters. Using these different scales as a starting point, the artist expands his field of action, and thus the opportunity to present his works in new places and architectural spaces.
