I’ve been collecting digital pictures of faces and patterns, but also pictures of objects that can be of different sizes and uses, like dolls and pieces of furniture. At the beginning, these images of objects were meant to be integrated to the faces. But then, after making printed paper with faces and patterns on it to cover the walls of a showroom at Le Château de Servières, i started covering real objects. I only use secondhand objects that come from flea markets, trash or donations.

The installation, Contamination, at the Espace Culture of Marseille, from june 26th to july 8th, shows these everyday objects. Their use can be identified by their shape, but they’re all “contaminated”, covered with a printed paper. On that paper, faces are “overrun” by geometric patterns, inspired by tiles on the floor of a church in Florence, Italy.

Contamination, made of yellow and red, shows several objects that are changed and linked by a so-called new skin, which brings them a new life.
