Installation
These video actions are a risible and playful catalogue of imaginary powers in the last territory where anything is possible. They amount to an array of impossibilities. Meandering between fantasies of omnipotence and childlike naivety, the actions performed (transformations, imitations, attempts) constitute physical appropriations of space. the actions envisaged create transformations, generally of an optical or mechanical nature, which only film can capture. Sculpture testifies to the action that space exerts on us physically. The spectator will place himself in a forcibly created "in between", a confrontation, between the fantasy of the space seen from earth and the muffled violence of space seen from space.
