La Vie Héroïque de B.S. - Acte III : Les sirènes de Corinthe, 2015


Because he has lost his modernist certainties on the uses and origins of forms, B.S. leaves for a journey to Greece. There he hopes that he will be able to understand the conditions of appearance and conceptualization of one of the very first manufactured form : the Doric column. How Man could have conceptualized such a pure form in those arid regions, only filled with stones and dust ?

While he is wandering in the desert landscapes, B.S. starts to lost his mind and has mystic visions. He slowly let his rationalism sliping away and starts working with what he can find on spot. He desperately throws himself into sculpture, awaiting a transcendental and universal truth on any form to appear to him.
