Poster | 2006
Live performance and video performance, 27 minutes.

Poster is a journey backward through time via the image, making no appeal to traditional memory: rather, it is a matter of navigating and inhabiting frames, potential reconstructions, and mental projections. The concept is simple: a selection of seven life-size photographs portray the artist’s father, an avid footballer, posing with teammates and coaches across various amateur teams. Into these group photos from different years enters a real-life, flesh-and-blood player. The slight dissonance of a three-dimensional element overlapping the flat image of a poster—while maintaining a consistent scale—does not aim to deceive: Poster is not a trompe-l’œil, but a game of experiential traversal.

In this photographic series, the power of imagination leads us to believe that illusion can turn into reality, and that our existences can be reincarnated into other lives, emerging from the abyss of history or from the photographic fragments of an everyday family album—aiming to instill doubt regarding the truthfulness of representation and communication, on the boundary between reality and illusion, past and present.
