"Peeking Through the Keyhole"

​

 is an installation made of three series of work.

The installation is about mindset samplings, explored through different mediums. Or a reflection on how to preserve what is ephemeral, such as a feeling, a state of mind, a moment lived...

​

“cluster - topographic psychology”

linseed oil, oil paint & acrylic on found plywood

​

This ongoing series of painting and material explorations are the documentation of happenings.

A collection of intuitive mindsets, moments frozen in time.
The different materials, colors, and layers suggest an inner state of mind. The thoughts, (or mindset) only exist at a given time, in a given mind, in the present, it is ephemeral. Yet it has left a mark.

The paintings on found plywood sheets are the only physical proof or leftovers from this particular moment in time.

Yet they can act as tools or passageways to re-enter that mind-space. If given enough time and curiosity, viewers can enter these windows and explore these spaces, on the verge of imagination, perception, and beliefs.

"cluster - 3mm per week" 

veneered oak frame, glass, human hair

​

“I dived my fingers in the soft pile of loose hair from a year ago. For a split second, time did not exist, and I was facing my younger self,”

How much can we read in each millimeter? Hair is a memento mori, and a constant reminder of passing time.

An archive of mundane commodity, charged with emotional, intimate and personal content.

“going (back)”

​

the sound piece acts as a guide to navigate through the 2 other series of work.

it should be listened to through a headset, as an intimate mediation through time and meditative, contemplative state of mind.
