The Barge series (2010-2015) approaches time that is lived actively, more precisely what one would call the persistence of the present and its traces, a suspended moment in which the past and the present melt into an irreducible present. This series includes movement studies that ignore any emotional ballast; in them, “here” is also “there” – a transitional state from sleep to wakefulness that can be compared to becoming stone-still. An exacerbation of immobility and actionless intervals. The artist has the viewer analyse the tragic state that takes the form of suspense and slow motion; everything that is real looks familiar and makes a good opportunity for musing and hearing voices from somewhere else. Closeness to death is also present, but not as a sign of fear or resignation; it touches on the meanings of death within man’s confused destiny, on accepting it as part of a whole. (Dana Sarmes, 2015)
