In this exhibition, something strange occurs each time. Something that disconcerts the image. It is the sign of some essential uncertainty, preventing form from taking shape.
But it also undoes the subject, casting it aside.
Characters who live on nothing come into being, and they survive only in the void, preserving their mystery and defying logic and psychology right to the very end.
If they have a formula, it is certainly not explanatory. I PREFER NOT TO remains just as much a cabalistic formula as that of man, who cannot prevent two and two from making four, but who will not RESIGN himself to it either. The artist has the eye of a prophet, not the vision of a psychologist.
If man is the brother of man, and if he is worthy of "confidence", it is not because he belongs to a particular nation, or because he is an owner or stakeholder: it is only as a man, when he has lost those aspects that constitute his "violence", his "idiocy", and his "baseness", when he has lost all consciousness of himself, other than under the signs of "democratic dignity" that considers all peculiarities as stains of ignominy, which arouse only distress or compassion.
We - the users of the web - are not a closed tribe of men with a national identity, like that of those whose blood has been debased in an attempt to ennoble it, closed in on itself in marriages between those of the same race...
More than a nation, we are a world. We must be able to recognise the entire world as our family founder, for otherwise we will find ourselves with neither father nor mother...
We are the heirs of all ages, and we share our inheritance with all nations... Not even a puzzle, whose pieces would fit together to constitute a whole, but rather a wall of loose, uncemented stones, in which every element has value in itself but also in relation to others... isolated and floating groups, islands and straits, immobile points and sinuous lines - for Truth always has "jagged edges".
Not a skull, but a line of vertebra - a spinal cord. Not a uniform but a Harlequin's cape, a never-ending patchwork and a multiple coupling. But to reach this point, it is also necessary for the knowing subject, the sole proprietor, to give way to a community of explorers, the brothers of the archipelago, who replace knowledge with belief or rather with "confidence".
Not belief in another world but confidence in this one.
