Croupir dans la chaleur des autres
France
2024
Croupir dans la chaleur des autres [Withering in the Heat of Others] explores a drift through the myth of Endymion’s eternal sleep. In a timeless summer, men, soldiers and wrestlers appear, their bodies distorted and intertwined to create tableaux inspired by ancient scenes. The figures are in perpetual motion, evoking a latent danger. The painting-like images, blurred and elusive, reveal the fantastical nature of these scenes.
Through fiction, the project explores new worlds where desire is omnipresent. Eroticism is revealed rather than imposed, in the shapes of natural elements and vaporous bodies emerging from inks that seem to flow. In the darkness of dreams, the boundaries between fantasy and reality become blurred.
