Between the exhibition and the show, "Looking From a Window Above" draws inspiration from the various places where I develop my artistic practices: the bedroom, the studio, and the scene. It was born from a very simple desire: to dance with my paintings.
This piece materializes fantasies coming from inner and sometimes intimate places like memory and imagination. These fantasies or inner images also come from traditional and pop music, and works from the past, in particular an Italian baroque painting from 1522 (i.e. from its low-quality photographic reproduction).
I wish to share and promote forms of physical and personal relationship with artistic objects: from the poster in the bedroom to the painting in the museum. In exposing this intimacy on stage and at the same time as the exhibition of the paintings happens, I try to let the fragility and vulnerability - linked in part to the everyday, the human - circulate within the forces that are produced in the convention or cultural habit that is a show, an audience watching an artistic form.
