"Contaminations" is a series of photos and objects started in April 2020 during the Covid-19 crisis.
This is a work in progress. Here are the first sketches of this serie of creations.

The spine appeared to us as a strong symbol of these new physical and social distances born and experienced during this period of isolation. These distances profoundly affect us by transforming our relationship with others and the world. The spine is a mental projection on the perception of our own bodies, marked by fear, suffering and the search for protection.

The question of the skin arises more ardently today, how to apprehend it, perceive it, live it, feel it. The spin, this plant horn, pricks our eyes, sinks into the skin. In the form of a mental image, it goes through us, and it seeks to hybridize with our human elements, skin, flesh and bone. This symbolic hybridization with spines aspires to protect our own body. This body that contaminates and protects itself at the same time. The spin is also a defence that symbolizes life.
By appropriating the spines of the plant, we project excrescences on our body that gradually follow an epidermal evolution, to get closer to a form of animality.
