Visual arts
A brand new world
As a playful yet incisive response to the pervasive presence of commercial brands in every corner of life, this project radicalized that visual saturation with irony—elevating iconic logos to the status of magical symbols, utilitarian objects, even edible items. They appeared as tattoos on indigenous portraits, blueprints for religious architecture, toys for children and adults alike, or transformed into junk food. A creative gesture that, in the end, was both matched and surpassed by reality itself.

New orders
Painting nocturnal views of a hyper-urbanized world map, reclassifying the world’s flags by color, drawing from ages 0 to 15… These sequences—series of drawings, collages, or paintings—followed the Brand New World project, as poetic continuations of its visual and conceptual explorations.

Transient Disorders
This body of installations, performances, videos, and photographs—gathered under the title Transient Disorders—is the result of a several-month research residency at the Vauclaire Psychiatric Hospital in Montpon-Ménestérol (Dordogne, France), carried out as part of the “Résidences de l’Art en Dordogne-Périgord” program run by the Department’s Cultural Agency. Rooted in site exploration, encounters, and context-driven experimentation, the project set out to stage, within the psychiatric environment, a certain vision of gentle madness and absurdity—crafted in close collaboration with long-term residents and the professionals who support them daily. Initiated in 2012, the project continued through further interventions in 2014 and 2016.
