We meet at the La Nature Festival in Vielsalm, Belgium.
We immediately fall in love with his performance ‘Untitled‘ a work about the obsession with weather, changing climate…
it has been raining for two days, all around is an enchantment of nature and mud.
It is 8.30 in the morning.
There is magic and beauty.

Untitled, performance, La Nature Festival,
Vielsalm (BE) 2024

lives and works in the Paris area, France.

Video artist and painter, sometimes (often) involved in performance art and artists’ books, which get published every 2 years or so – Having worked as a video artist for several years, his works are a show of force between fiction, the documentary, serious prank and frequently involve family members or other such-like idols of his. The audience is baffled, constantly

                      Gift

                      acrylic on canvas, 80 x 100 cm, 2023

                      What I don’t understand is how it is possible for an art collector to give one of his works to a museum and thesaid museum buys it at the same time. This was found as such in San Diego Museum Of Contemporary Art – Selections From The Permanent Collection (1990), pp. 84-5
                      When such a thing happens, the gift is commonly said to be ‘partial’, at least. But not here. This work, is it given to us, or not ?
