Artist Statement:
If the founding myth of
painting is supposed to be
"the initiative of a young
girl who outlined on the wall
the shadow of the man she
loved before he departed,
never to return"1, what can
the founding myth of writing
be?
(...)
Rambling is to the truth what
reason is to desire; not to
abandon oneself to : gossip.
One must write, like
Alexander, in the temple of
Jupier, from his sword the
Gordien knot is cut.
(...)
Media and film accumulate "in
us a swarming mass of cliches
of uncertain origin, a
depository of images and
citations that govern and
exhaust us"3 and this need for
images is "the proof of our
mutilation, our dryness, our
desolation."4 After the poetry
of the words of surrealism, of
dadaism, of lettrisme, of
Italian and Russian futurism,
and the enflamed prose of
Isidore Isou, it is now
perhaps time to think about
allowing the field of language
to lie fallow for some
seasons?
