An invitation to follow, to follow an evolution, a journey, to return but also to be. How am I in an exhibition? Am I different when I enter than when I leave?

Walking through the doors of a cultural venue: Harmless? Everyday? A little scary? What is simple for me may not be so for others. I feel like my questions crystallized around the age of ten. Why am I who I am? Today, it would be more like why or how do I become who I become?

Being, certainly, but exposing oneself is a strange game. Far from the virtual world, exposing oneself on a daily basis. I like to explore the layers of our constructions, and then images of a building site come to mind (my father's, who was a construction worker?).

The idea is to break down the fourth wall, as I did in the theatre, where I worked for many years. But above all, it is about being alive with you, creating pretexts and bridges, not becoming stuck in one's practice or certainties. It is about awakening curiosity, digging furrows, sowing seeds and questioning, nuancing with joy and candour.

Throughout the development of this project, I had Robert Filliou's words in the back of my mind:

Art is what makes life more interesting than art.

On 7 February 2024, symbolically, I shaved everything off.

A reset to remain fallow until the opening for a performance tribute to Marina Abramović.

One hour and ten minutes in one minute

Thank you Charlotte for the video during the performance & to my precious Anna-Eva.
