Yves's recomposition
2017

As my perceptionĀ of most of the art came from it's digital or printed reproductions it led me to wonder if the feelings it created were only to the idea, to the theoretical existence of those pieces or those feelings couldĀ be transcendental and if they are the same as if experiencing the piece itself.
In late 2016 I've encountered Klein's Untitled orange monochrome from 1956 and despite the absence of physical encounter with the piece, I've had a great feeling for it. This absence led me to think about where does it's value reside and if the physicality of it even mattered. As Rauschenberg erased de Kooning's drawing I've been driven by the same ambition. To edit, to decode, to erase the original reproduction I've encountered and fell in love with to observe where the value of the original ends and where something new emerges.
