Cette pratique mémorielle n'est pas nouvelle ... Dans certaines tribus autochtones, depuis longtemps on prélevait les substances rétiniennes des défunts pour ensuite les injecter aux nouveaux nés . La cérémonie se tenait deux fois l'an, au levée du jour, à l'équinoxe du printemps et d'automne. La substance était inoculée à l'aide d'épines de porc épic. Parfois, aussi, on injectait des substances rétiniennes prélevées à l'intérieur des yeux de certains animaux. Le choix de l'animal se faisait en fonction du totem qui allait être attribué à l'individu et l'aidait à comprendre spontanément certains éléments de la nature. Il est à peu près certain que Pr. Vergessen s'est inspiré de ces pratiques ancestrales mais qu'il cache bien les sources de sa pratique, voulant sûrement en secret bénéficier de l'honneur de sa prétendue découverte.

Seeing as I cannot describe your work due to it's surreality and peculiarity that I love so much,
I will simply say that I love the negative space, and after reading your description the piece actually makes quite clear sense to me.

i love your work, it's amazingly original, thoughtful, funny, sad and cool.
i especially like this piece, i can relate to feeling as if i would feel so much better if someone would just take all my memories from me. If i hadn't read the description my original interpretation would be wanting to be rid of memories of the hospital, which, yeah i can relate to as well.
anyway, dynamic and lovely.

I don't live there either, but I visited it recently. Apparently it's a huge tourist attraction. It's an amazing place.

Extract that which makes us alive...
Compile in a database of joy pain and the results of intuitive reaction
And feed it into... ___________________________?

oh, i probably have to mention that it's technically great...

She has red wine floating next to her right ear. That's why they succeeded.
Besides, her lap is candid and way too warm to be avoided.

wow that's a great idea reminds me of what i had to do at the start of this schoolyear and where we talked all bout achives, blogs, scrapbooks, blade runner, la jetée and other stuff. There seems to be a (ex?) Microsoft guy that wants to program a software that should be able to store all of your memories digitally. So basicly I'm a big fan of the concept and how you worked it all out. Great job man.

yeap, your works are always good, not only aesthetical, but what they communicates.
i like the scissors cutting off the kid's eyes, kind of some squizo thing, reminds me kubrick's film 'clockwork orange'.

Excuse the following tangents...
For one, I really envy and enjoy your style, that is including all the DA works and the film work on your site (which is amazing...the film work that is). I say this because for such a "fan" I feel I don't express as often as I should in return to what you show.
On this work in particular--as usual, the manipulation and everything are awesome, flawless, and show mastery. I believe that in one way, when this point is reached that the message then becomes a big selling point of a work to the viewer's ocular speheres (
Because of this I feel the image could use some kind of work, but am more puzzled on a personal level as to why the conclusion wasn't drawn without the description. I mean, I wonder to myself if I "should've gotten it" or if it was alright for one to "slip by". Further, because of all this I suppose it becomes more of an introspective work, and even further, it all eventually gets to the question of "what is art..?"
Overall, I like the image visually, and the story that comes coupled with it (I still say you should make a book with all these desctiptions etc.) Well done, and I apologize for the confusion above this...very...well...odd.
Thanks.

first thanks a lot for taking time to wriet such a long comment! it's always really interesting to see how you guys can receive my work. About the meaning/description issue, i think it's normal that you don't find an "conclusion" in the picture alone. i always tend to avoid giving too much meaning in a picture, because i don't like, as a viewer, to be lead in a way, to be "told" what i have to think. the little stories i write in my descriptions are almost always invented after the image is done. so they are like potential interpretations of what the image conveys. they're not censed to be "THE explanation". i don't think that an artwork always need a concrete meaning or message. i think i'm more into "materializing" abstract feelings that float somewhere in my mind and try to build some kind of coherence around them.
i don't know if was really clear, but i hope so
oh, and about the movies, they were not made by me, but by the other co-founder of Institut Drahomira.
thanks again for your interest!
