CONT

My copygraphic prints are artworks related to the so-called "new images," generated through photo-electronic technologies. I synthesized them by projecting intense light perturbations through glass debris in a color laser photocopy machine. I work to extend its possibilities beyond those known. In short, it could be described as [the projection of] an evanescent sculpture ... Usually titled using the term "scan," my copygraphies are to art what tomography is to neurology: slices with no thickness, but with deep implications. Abstract textures obtained have an evocative power different than for figuration: they pull to [the] surface subconscious states. This art goes to the heart and is an invitation to relax through its imagination freeing abstraction.

OBS

Les copies de copigraphes, et leur procédé de génération de l'image sur le photocopieur à partir d'un grain de poussière, d'un point de toner, anticipent le clonage à partir d'une cellule, d'un gène. On découvre que les clones, pas plus que les photocopies, ne sont des copies exactes.

PHR
