SEXUAL HYGIENE AMONG FLIES

2011, 11:30’, HD video, stereo


In the mid-seventies, still in art school, a painter by nature, I experienced a crisis with my ways of making art. The appearance of a black and white video camera ushered in the intangible media of light, sound & time. Decades later, in addition to my full-fledged videos and installations, meant for exhibition, I began something quite contrary, very short and spontaneous, tailored for social media. First posted in 2008, there are now about 200 such video vignettes on FACEBOOK and, since the pandemic, on INSTAGRAM : singular acts reclaimed from oblivion.
