THE OMNIVORES:::   [ 2005 ]
 work >  


The work of the OMNIVORES is the result of different desires. Maybe I wouldn’t have ever dealt with the subject if the occasion hadn’t presented itself, but when the idea of adapting this theme to the principle of the mobiles was born, everything became obvious.
First the will to express the violence of the body, then the desire to work with the space, to make the visitor enter in the installation, to be part of it. And finally the possibility to include volume and texture, sensual dimensions connected to flesh.
There, the body becomes a screen where all types of violences from inside are projected. Tormented flesh, fragmentized, uncompleted, playing with the visual codes of violence without any open wounds, terrible flesh of the monster-man, violent, omnivorous animal.
