Supine is a position: lying on the back facing up. Inv. prone which means lying on ther stomach facing down. Part of Palestra, 2018 (installation) - A body of work which explores Body Building(1). Like a double allegory of the work of the artist: the body - to understand «a tool» - and the building - as a site, referencing the space, the architectural and physical construction of any man-made form. Palestra is inspired from Kathy Acker’s essay: Against ordinary language, the language of the body, from 1992 (1). I wanted to picture a parallel between the effort of the athlete and the work of the artist, therefore, I started to sculpt «effort» as it is, a form of physicality. I am rather fond of the idea that effort appears from within its own gesture. A relationship - a reciprocity between the body and the matter which becomes a physical manifestation of the effort through labour. Just like the athlete, the dissatisfaction within the work pushes the artist to burn out, to sacrifice, until an everlasting transformation.

United Kingdom
"Over time, the border between life and art has become a vast, desecrated free zone. The world becomes the suitcase - the suitcase becomes the body - the body becomes the material in which the craft is revealed and sucks the life. Living becomes work." The notion is literal: Labor - Translated into a multitude of techniques and formats - Performatives. It sculpts itself, draws itself, realising itself in a physical/dimensional form. The aesthetic is simple, idiomatic, often minimal, which conveys an underlined political and economic statement. DIY kits - found objects and reclaimed materials become poems suggesting "in-between" - Society is concrete, as is its poetry. Born in Marseille - France, live and work in London
