The September 11 attacks and the ensuing collapse of the Twin Towers caused a great shock on everyone’s mind. My work as an artist has been deeply affected by the event, which led me to building up an installation in remembrance of the victims.
I have meant it aesthetically sober, with a high emotional input, in order to sympathise with who have been hit their flesh and in their heart.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

It is a large cube, made up with 216 painted wood cubes numbered 1 to 216. The whole work consists of two distinct parts :
\u2022 A shell of 152 ash-grey empty cubes,
\u2022 A core of 64 fire-red cubic boxes holding \u00ab\u00a0art ashes\u00a0\u00bb obtained by burning 64 paintings from my own work production.<\/p>\n<\/div>

The sacrificial ashes of each canvas have been deposited into small unbleached cotton bags. Each one carries an attached slide of the original painting. The bags have then been sealed in the core cubes.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

On the lid of each red cube, I stenciled a number from 1 to 64 and stuck a label listing the specification of the work reduced to ashes.<\/p>\n\n\n

These boxes are sealed and therefore inviolable.
Once assembled, the grey cubes numbered 65 to 216 from a sarcophagus which encloses the red cubes. All the cubes bear one of the keywords : World \/ Trade \/ Center \/ Twin \/ Towers …<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

A dove hangs from a string over the whole set-up as a peace message.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

To the public, the installation will appear, depending on the montage, as a grey cube partly disclosing fewer or more fragments of its red heart as it stands encased in grey-colored blocks suggesting destruction.<\/p>\n\n\n
