Sculpture is a ghost in itself, it is the image of what is no longer there. In “The temptation to be a fiction” a woman’s body is caught in concrete, like a vestige of our contemporary world. It’s the idea of a body, a femininity and the heaviness it implies. It’s also the idea of the classic tradition and the notion of ruin.
The ghost is presence by absence. He terrifies by what he represents no more than by what he is. A transgender being, a paradoxical body. Dive into a state of inter-matter, it symbolizes the duality of existence.
The two stand side by side, Their gestures, however frozen, seem to have transcended time, they become the receptacle of a projection the place of fantasy. Fantasy meant ghost until the 14th century and finally defined a production of the imagination that allows the self to escape reality.
We do not become adults in the world that we knew, child or adolescent,we are seduced by the idea of all who we have been and who we are no longer. The hardest part is finding the presence.
like a ghost we are caught in the meantime it’s also being able to wear seconds skin, to be the same and the other, the temptation to be a fiction.
