Very Noise

“Very Noise” is an attempt to transcribe into images the synthesis of many testimonies of stroke victims that we have collected over the past few years. About 3/4 of the stroke victims are heterosexual white males over 50 years old and the visions that arise from these experiences have in common the neuroses of this category of the population. Identity disorder, existential anxieties linked to erection problems, transfer phenomenon to a more sporty image of the father, burning desire for extreme but playful activities such as motocross or solo rock climbing... The notion of figurative abstraction is also very significant in the stories, it is a form of link between two ideas that challenge each other, one could speak of a remedy for cognitive dissonance generated by overlapping fantasies.
