The Hanged

The eruption of the strange into the familiar, like a body suspended in the middle of the living room in place of a floor lamp … This is what these three sculptures play at and which brush the viewer’s head to better reveal the disturbing void that surrounds them. All three energize the weight of a bag, the lightness of a pierced dry bone or the stiffness of a cutting disc in order to be part of an everyday life that has become surreal. We have to find in them a meaning or a principle of reality that seems to escape us although they present well-known hanging techniques. The Hanged are looking for a reason, one that would define them in this state or one that would revive them…
