species disappearance - 2 - Gegens pumilio

Species disappearance is a series of photographys completed by a drawing on the transparent film. I draw with an acrylic drawing felts.

Some time ago, in my painting, I developed a serie of canvas touching the most lively theme of conquering museology, collections of birds, insects, naturalized and put in a box for the pleasure of the eyes. The domineering attitude of the human is to revolt me.

In my photos the form is revealed, for a moment, the color arrives like a water like a wash and fades. The figure barely revealed, discarded, in the fugitive vision that is already gone. She has the time, before, to launch a silent cry like a butoh dancer.

Each print is coming with a complete leaflet concerning the insect. Gegens pumilio "could not adapt" and wasn't seen in France for 15 years.
