Merci à tous d'être venus ce soir. Merci à Jean-Jacques et au Centre d'Exposition pour l'opportunité de montrer mon œuvre d'art. Merci à Yann et un très spécial Merci à Chelsea pour m'aider à installer.
Je voudrais lire quelques mots en ce qui concerne mon œuvre d'art. Mon français n'est pas très bon, donc je vais parler en anglais.
The masks act as a canvas, upon which an identity is projected.
The work can be seen as both a self portrait of the artist, but also that of the digital society that we all inhabit and are implicit in creating.
There is an underlying male gaze the internet targets, one in which all viewers, regardless of identity, becomes inserted into. As digital consumers, we are inundated with facades that mediate our reality - both of our own physical identities, but that of our digital identity. We play an integral role and in the end are ourself consumed.
Society inhabits the internet through profiles in an attempt to define self and connect with others. However, as the spacing of these masks might suggest: there is an inherent distance and divide in modern communication and tools of connectivity; We are left in a state of in between, neither alone nor connected, neither here nor there, neither present nor absent, neither physical nor digital.
