Glass ointments , silica powders, natural oxide makeup, gold or copper ornaments… Slowly, I prepare the abandoned books for their cremation. The improbable black work of the alchemical fusion of paper and fire, these ancestral enemies, resembles bark. The books' deep desire to return to the original forest or the spell that engages the fire to give them what its flames steal from the trees?
My work takes the form of an archeology of the future. It raises the questions of illusion, the circular renewal of matter and completion... Questioning the history of humanity, from the transcription of language codes to the violent cremation of books, this disturbing material is an allegory of the poetry of the living to renew itself.
My declaration of love to wild nature...
