About The Artwork
Description: (...) Enclosed in Plexiglass boxes, the "Icons are tired," are the sleepy faces of celebrities : Dali and Marlene Dietrich, Che Guevara and Marilyn Monroe, Jim Morrison and Mao, Callas and Picasso. Those faces are marked by the deterioration of an old and burnt film. Yves Hayat is real navigator in a virtual time, he doesnt hesitate to close the eyes of those he represents. This universe of consumed icons, finally shows in a mirror, through the system of advertising and fashion, receiving the reflection of the same seductive look returned to Narcisse by the pond which reflected, sentencing him to solitude, which tends to exclude dialogue with the otherness .(...) Medium: Burnt films include in plexiglass boxes

Born in Egypt. In 1956 Yves Hayat discovered France and the conditions of his uprooting.. From 1966 to 1971, National School of Arts in Nice French Riviera. Lives and works between Nice-french Riviera and Paris. "I admit that I'm more interest in manipulating reality than in recording it. My artwork between photography, installation and "Figuration narrative" proposes visions where theatricalization is a part of the project. I am a total visual consumer : I film, download, scan, retouch.... as the director of a new reality. Using superimpositions, shifts, misappropriations, I confront past and present, beauty and horror, indifference and fanaticism. Through a questioning about the art/ politic/ media relations, I try to conceive a critical art work where the attraction for the culture of media, cinema and advertising shows through. Using modern techniques, my work propose a report of what our history and our society have thought, generated, transformed, destroyed... while always keeping in mind that when the work of Art creates unrest, it evacuates the common place".
