Visual journey
Lost in space is part of the Paradox project, an approach that seeks above all to raise questions, without necessarily offering clear answers.
The work depicts tourists adrift in a void, suspended in a moment of carefree abandon, capturing their own image even as their point of reference seems to have vanished. The dance sequence accentuates this impression of solitude and detachment, like a drift away from reality.
The pictorial surface incorporates glass beads, set in motion within a still-fluid gel, forming a mass that evokes a territory. Words are engraved upon it—"me" repeated, almost omnipresent, facing a singular "we." Through their semi-transparency, the beads reveal a dark, uncertain form, which may suggest the trace of a world in decline.
This material then becomes the bearer of a paradox: between presence and disappearance, between individualism and collective, between what is seen and what is revealed.
Between fascination, excess and loss of bearings, the image becomes a space for questioning.
How far can we go before losing what connects us?
