Video III

.

Translation:
In the fifth month of pregnancy:
- the uterus is pointing up and hurts
- it inflates, rises up and crushes the lungs.
- velvety inside, stretched outside, the uterus takes possession of the body: redefines its shapes, its outline, its function.

Being both:
– an inside and an outside
– a box and its content
– a world and its frontier
– an organ, a prison, a universe

A universe below which dangles the limp relic of an textureless sexual organ.
The mouth, lips kept silent, guardians of a precious secret.

There was an alternative video for these drawings. Which do you prefer?

Translation:
Sometimes, it’s like a hard tip that rises and hurts.
Expansion, growth, swelling of the life carrying organs until it crushes the lungs, and lifts the diaphragm up.

So stretched out, but surely soft and velvety inside.

Touching, feeling a presence on both sides of the abdominal skin.

The abdomen overtakes the body, redefines the shape, the outline, the function.

And becomes at once:
– an inside and an outside
– a box and its content
– a world and its frontier
– an organ, a prison, a universe

A universe below which dangles the limp relic of an textureless sexual organ. The lips are the silent guardians of a secret passage.

Drawing n°20 in process

„ Série D é s i r “ :

Being round and difformed,

Being sexy and monstrous,

Overgrown and swollen feminin shapes: an appealing difformity, a male’s fantasy, an ancestral symbole of fertility ?

“Série D é s i r”  is composed of a selection of small black and white drawings,  installations  and videos questioning about sexuality, femininity,  pregnancy and birth.

 

Selected pieces of this Artwork will be shown in Berlin, in the Gallery Weißer Elefant next September for the exhibition “Frei Denken” (Free Thoughts)

 

 

Video II

 

Translation :

Maybe in the beginning, there was..

a hole, an anus, a navel, a scar, a void

Or … a passage, a crater, a well?

This is a ripe and juicy fruit…No, this is a fleshy buttocks,  a strong back … No, this is a natural turgescent organ… No, this is a sex toy.

 Trouble – Attraction, Disgust, Fascination,Delicacy

 The fruit, Organ (Body?) of species reproduction, contains seeds, carries life and makes my mouth water.

 I am …

Video I

Translation:

What are you thinking about ?

Is it a fruit? flesh? sex?

A scientific illustration?

I think about the word sensuality.

Sensuality, is the suggestion of Desire.

And desire may be the sublimation of anxiety.

 I think about a pregnant woman, a womb, an egg, fertilization.

Mystery of desire for a child …. mystery of sexual desire.

I think about penetration.

An egg penetrates the flesh of the uterus to fasten … if not it falls.
