Terrain vague

source: highlike

Work: At a time when some people invite to “eat dry bread,” while others would “live life” while gaining ground, the artist traces the contours of a transgenic France to the obvious fragility. An arid territory, where the entire surface appears to have exhausted its resources, erased its reliefs. Vision or visionary work infertile soil, returned to virgin all over again. Virginie Jux.
