‘‘ Un intestin entier de porc. La longueur varie entre 15 et 20 mètres et le diamètre de 26 à 46 MM. Pour démêler l’intestin, tremper le dans de l’eau tiède. Il est peu probable qu’il soit d’un seul tenant, aussi sélectionner un segment de 7 mètres minimum. Faire un double nœud à une de ses extrémités.

Un câble d’acier tressé non gainé d’une dizaine de mètre.

Trois sacs de 25kg de béton fibré. Avec une passoire, tamiser le béton pour en extraire le gravier. Conserver les fibres qui s’agglomèrent au fond du tamis et les effilocher dans le béton déjà filtré. Perte du cinquième du volume à anticiper.

Une bouteille plastique dénuée de relief au goulot effilé. Avec une lame de cutter, faire sauter le pas de vis plastique du bouchon et en adoucir le relief avec une râpe à métaux. Découper le cul de la bouteille avec une lame de cutter.

Enfiler le boyau autour du goulot. Laisser dépasser une extrémité sur une vingtaine de centimètres. Introduire, par le cul ajouré de la bouteille, le câble d’acier tressé jusqu’au niveau du nœud du boyau.

Un sac de sable fin de 25kg. Au sol, avec l’aide d’une ficelle ou d’un câble dont l’extrémité est munie d’un crayon, dessiner un cercle au sol d’un rayon correspondant à longueur du boyau comme périmètre (Pi=R2. Recouvrir le pourtour du cercle en saupoudrant de sable sur une hauteur d’au moins 5cm. Retracer le cercle avec le stylet dans le sable. Suivre le sillon avec le dos d’une cuillère à soupe pour former une tranchée régulière d’environ 3 cm de profondeur et de largeur.

Avec des feuilles A4 de papier de couleurs, de grammage faible et d’une seule teinte, recouvrir la tranchée par un chevauchement de feuilles incurvées.

Brasser le béton assez liquide. La mise en boyau pouvant excéder une heure de travail, il est important d’une part que le béton soit fluide et d’autre part, qu’il ne sèche pas trop vite. Au besoin, le brasser en plusieurs fois.Avec une truelle, remplir l’entonnoir de béton. L’enfoncer à l’aide d’un bâton lisse dont le diamètre est légèrement supérieur à celui du goulot afin d’éviter de percer le boyau par un geste trop brusque. Enfoncer simultanément le câble en acier. Il est très important d’approvisionner régulièrement en béton pour éviter l’inclusion d’air dans le boyau, ce qui aurait pour effet de fragiliser et briser la section au cours d’une manipulation ultérieure.

D’autre part, le poids du béton augmente son propre débit.

Déployer le boyau rempli de béton au fur et à mesure au sol sur dans le sillon de sable formant un cercle. Le sable fin évitera d’aplanir la section circulaire du boyau par le poids du béton.

Pour joindre les deux extrémités du boyau, inciser les 5 premiers centimètres après le nœud de la première extrémité. Le béton commence à se solidifier. Retirer la pellicule intestinale. Trancher le boyau à la base de la bouteille plastique. Enfoncer dans les deux extrémités les brins du câble acier. Au préalable, mettre un carré de plastique souple, épais et sans grains par-dessous. Le remplir de béton et le rabattre en guise de fermoir.Compter au moins dix jours de séchage dans un espace sec. Utiliser un appareil de mesure d’hydrométrie si hésitation.

Construire un châssis provisoire sur la sculpture à même le sol puis la manipuler avec une tierce personne pour l’adosser verticalement à un mur avec un rayon d’inclinaison faible pour éviter qu’elle ne dérape. Utiliser un tampon antidérapant à sa base. Démonter le châssis."

Pop-up

2009 - 2013

Cut banknotes, wood & plexiglassDisplay windows realised with Gilles Domenget - esaG 1 display window : 135cm x 200cm

Installation view : Copie Right - Musée des Moulages - Lyon

Pop-up is an attempt to give a new value to banknotes. In this work I am interested in the prints illustrating monuments on the front of the notes. With a scalpel I cut into the banknotes in order to re-erect the monu ment on it.

Symbol of power, the monument is in a way re-raised by my act but presented in a minuscule scale, an im potent power emphasized thanks to the symbolic effect of the shift from the flat representation to a poor effect of 3D materialization.

This work intends to re-appropriate money with an artistic act. This way I am collecting banknotes by following more their aesthetic characteristics than their real cost.

The notes remain intact, nothing is taken away. One can potentially sellotape it back to trade it and put it back into circulation again.

The Bruise Brothers

2012

DrawingsCarbone paper & pencil on paper5 x A3 (70cm x 32,50cm)

The Bruise Brothers shows five tattoos from football fans that have tattooed on their arm, back or chest an event they speculated about but never happened.

For example : Manchester City fan Chris A. got a little too excited when the Blues launched a £100 million bid for Kaka, and had the Brazil superstar’s name tattooed across his chest. Unfortunatly, Kaka turned down City’s mega-deal and opted to stay at AC Milan.

Tattoos are drawn and a line explains the story at the bottom of the sheet.

I was interested by the fact they permanently etch on their skin something virtual with causes that escape them.

Lyonnaiseries

InstallationBoules trophy from 1930, porc intestine & concreteXavier : 45cm x 60cm Boudin : 5cm (diameter) x 260cm (lengh)

Lyonnaiseries is an installation made with two sculptures : Xavier and Boudin.

Originally painted in green, Xavier is a boules trophy that have been sanded in order to stylish it like some of Xavier Veilhan’s sculptures. Boudin is a 2,60 m sausage made of concrete. It is a porc bowel filed in situ with concrete.

In this work, there is an opposition in between Boudin, that is a reproductible recipe but that is never the same, and Xavier that is an assisted ready-made, unique and close to an industrial production.

Xavier is unique, Boudin is mulptiple

Notions d’échelles

2010

InstallationDigital colour prints, blue-tackVariable dimensions

Installation view : Exposition de Noël #4, organized by LE MAGASIN - Ancien Musée de Peinture - Grenoble - 220 cm x 500 cm

Notion d’échelle (Notion of scale) is made of photographs picked up on the internet that show the scale and relationship in between two objects. One of them is the referent: it is recognizable and common to everyone (a coin, a bottle of Coke, a pen, …). The other object is the reason the photograph was taken.

The pictures show everyday objects taken out of their context and that are part of a given occasion. The dimensions of the pictures are given by the real size of the referent object. The installation is built as a play on perspectives, heights, supports and contexts of each photograph. The pictures are taken from above and as a whole show an accumulation of domestic objects on the floor, on tables or work surfaces.

The objects presented here have been looked for, made or found. Usually they are the sign of leisure activi ties such as sports, do-it-yourself jobs, walking, video games, model making, gardening or selling objects on the internet.

Qui m’aime me suive!

2006 Performance Vidéo - 60 minutesMonitor

In this performance, I wandered in Grenoble city centre carrying a sign where it was written on both front and back Philippe VI de Valois’s famous words: « Qui m’aime me suive ! » (Who loves me follows me). During an hour I ran-domly went all over town brandishing the sign.

In between call and cry, it was an attempt to make people follow me in order to generate an absurd social situation.

Parking

2006

Performance during Art BaselVideo DVD - 7 minutesMonitor

In the city centre close to the Art Basel fair, I physically took the space of a car by renting a parking space. For half a Swiss franc, I stayed alone and without a car during half an hour in order to question the contrasts between private property and public space.

It resulted in violent confrontations with two drivers: A 4x4 owner annoyed me with his exhaust fumes and another one pushed me with the back of his cabriolet…

I decided to perform near the Art Basel fair in order to link the rent parking lot to the temporary White Cubes in the fair.
