Aggloville (Paris)

Digital print on canvas / 2002

The city, our essential and indispensable “Umwelt”, is, at the same time, a distorted hell. The Aggloville photomontage series show an urban reality familiar to us, covered, however, by dense vegetation: so as to overturn the familiar metaphor of “urban jungle”. Art as “political sculpture” aims to encourage situations, individual and collective, that may effectively make our cities a better place to live in for everyone.
