Je Suis — Painted Text Art Installation, Paris

5 October 2017 · Paris

A black painted door fills the frame, covered in handwritten French phrases in white and red. "Je suis" dominates the centre panel in bold cursive strokes; smaller texts scatter across the surface — "il n'y a pas de mauvais goût," "parlez fort s.v. plait," "boîte à voyeurs." The installation turns the door into a surface of incomplete sentences, each one pulling the visitor in a different direction. Statement without resolution — that is the work.
