MONOCHROME

“I AM (NOT) AN ARTWORK / JE (NE) SUIS (PAS) UNE OEUVRE D’ART” is a piece, started in 2002 on the site of the fraclr.org. A text originally written by Bertrand Gauguet (a French art critic) can be changed by the visitors. Each change makes the text lighter of color and finally after 10 changes the text becomes white and dissolves in an all white page.
The French version is monochromatic since September 2007. The English version still has a few steps to go.
This piece is included in “MONOCHROME” a show organised by INCIDENT.net and has been shown before at the site “Les 20 ans des FRAC” in 2004.

self and boundaries

I am touched by a conference of Judith Butler
“on vulnerability and survival”

“We are not a discrete entity in a social world. Our self is not a boundary. We are bound up with others in a set of relations. We are a set of relations that makes survival possible. We must loosen our boundaries to be able to exist.”
