Demoiselle Créole en Apparat, 2024, and Le diseur de poésie, 2024 can be viewed separately and reunified for a special occasion or installation.
On the balcony of an imaginary palace, a scene is happening right in front of the viewer.
A kind of seduction game is on. A well-dressed masculine character is reciting a poem in front of a woman of power (apparent through her costume). She is creole, with a traditional African hairstyle imposed on a portrait of Maria of Austria.
The poet has a wild vegetal hairstyle and a mask of bright and acid-like colors.
The scenario is open, would they be united or separated forever?
Iconography:
Demoiselle Créole en Apparat, 2024
Woman & Interior : Portrait of Maria of Austria by Anthonis Mor
Landscape : A wooded river landscape with classical ruins, a drover with cattle and figures playing music in the foreground by Robert Carver (Ireland)
