Le rasoir d'Ockham fait partie de ma série Les Broken Toys.
Les Broken toys sont un travail photographique réalisé à partir de jouets usagés, souvent abandonnés, qu'on me donne ou que j'achète dans des brocantes, et auxquels je fais subir un certain nombre de transformations/mutations sous l'action du feu ou d'autres procédés destructifs.
J'ai essayé de restituer ces matières délicates grâce à un travail d'éclairage très spécifique appelé ligthpainting qui me permet en quelque sorte de peindre avec la lumière. Une lumière très spéciale, tout en clair-obscur, (une sorte d'hommage au Caravage... ), que j'utilise pour mettre en valeur ces jouets... et rendre le modelé de la matière malmenée.
Les Broken toys sont en même temps ludiques, sarcastiques et incitent à une certaine réflexion existentielle... Il parle de moi... du monde... mais aussi de vous! Ne sommes-nous pas ces jouets?

Loïc Jugue is a French artist and photographer who is one of the pioneers of French video art. He works in particular on the notion of reality, its representations and on the process of destruction of this reality. Since 2016, he has been working on a protean series: photos, videos, sculptures, installations that he calls Broken toys.
When his parents died, he took back his old toys, faithful companions of his childhood with multiple roles: comforters, confidants, martyrs or scapegoats. Rather than see them go to the dumpster or in some trash can, he decided to destroy them himself and make a series of them which he called: The Broken toys.
Continuing this process, he offered other people, relatives or strangers, to pass him their old toys. And rather that they disappear into oblivion, to transform them into an artistic work... Strange irony, to destroy in order to better safeguard.
His Broken toys are therefore created from used toys, often abandoned, that are given to him or that he buys at flea markets and to which he makes them undergo a certain number of transformations under the action of fire or other processes of destruction.
These are sorts of mini-sketches where he uses the toys like actors, moreover he photographs them like humans by putting the camera at their height.
The Broken toys are dramas, but also more or less gritty comedies, dealing with many themes: philosophy, love, suffering, religion, death, pollution, etc.
His Broken toys are at the same time playful, sarcastic and encourage a certain existential reflection… Aren't we those toys?
