Plastic Resurrection

1998

Invited by the director of the Alliance Française to present a show of my liking, I took this opportunity to bring to light a collection of drawings and paintings amassed over a period of 20 years, without ever being presented to the public, encompassing a wide range of techniques and inspirations. 

I covered the walls of the newly renovated gallery with black plastic to fit the title, which came from the digital 'resurrection' of one of the drawings that I liked best and that had been lost. The only photograph left of it was scanned and enhanced digitally, printed on plastic, cut into strips and glued over the blinds of a window curtain. It was thus a 'resurrection' of the form as well as using plastic as a medium. This curtain in turn formed the backdrop of a performance that concluded the event.

I AM MA.
As simple as that.
And I work on the space between things.
