The video was triggered by the viewer resting thier head on the pillow, underneath the pillow was the mouse, taken apart and placed inside a sponge.
The series of photography in this exhibition is dedicated to some of the seven emotions that the artist considers to be the basic requirements for an artwork to become eternal and complete, and for it to transcend the time in which it was created.
These emotions are tied to the images of gestation; a metaphor of the anguish the artist feels in the act of creating, precisely when his mind is being fertilized by the original idea. Ginestet puts all the models on the threshold of the door communicating between two spaces: the first one dedicated to painting and the second one dedicated to sculpture. This way, by superimposing the two opposite points of view, there is at the same time a fusion between painting, sculpture and photography. This fusion is both a paradox in its strength and its delicacy and has its counterpart in the three dimensions of the bronze casts of busts, in which the images find aesthetic continuity. Way beyond any sculptural speculation, the images suggest a double dimension with its being fusing the point of view most obvious to the viewer with its subtle counterpart, darkness, thus inviting the onlooker to enter this work (as much as a single piece as a collection of pieces) as if it were one’s own existential enigma.

The works are made by creating wood forms and painting images on paper, then mounting the images and paper patterns onto the surface. The shapes form angles and curves that sometimes generate the meaning of the piece. On some works, the image is already in mind, and the wood form is made for its purpose.
has been for sale for some time, as you have seen. The maintenance and ongoing development to keep our non-profit and idealistic platform for contemporary art running and safe from hackers etc. costs money that is no longer there. Because of small investments that are necessary now and the running costs, we will have to shut down with a heavy heart at the beginning of summer on June 21.
