Solo show at Lehmann + Silva gallery, 2018

“These works place us in another world, or in another dimension of our world, or maybe we are actually seeing a new and actual aspect of our world. Not being able to solve all these questions, we can still ask: what world is this? Let us return to our metaphor. The target is not an “ideal”, more or less transcendental, to which a practice would aspire. The aim or the purpose here is perhaps a “performative” goal: to rehearse a surface life form ― an exercise of fruition and freedom of the self and the relationship with the world ― through artistic production. Some disconcert, some disturbance or even a certain disorientation the spectator may initially experience (encountering these works) are experiences that indicate the passage from a more familiar world to enter the one presented here by A.P.”
