At the Above
Happy Birthday Picasso

Happy Birthday Picasso celebrates the artist’s creative energy, drawing inspiration from the multiplicity of materials, shapes and textures available. The series takes hold of bodies, fragmenting, dissolving, hybridizing and reconstituting them through photography.

“Je vois la lumière noire” (the last words of Victor Hugo) continues this hybridization of figures through the exclusive use of light, in the form of projections of drawings, collages and motifs, combined with the volumes of the bodies. The deep black-and-white of the images swallows up contours and expands possibilities.

No intervention after the shot, everything is done in the moment of the photograph, in the energy of the performance. -Publisher
