Meanwhile, the mobile work questions the ability of the artist to sabotage his own durational work by drinking his own coffee, and playing with the linguistic proximity of running and ruining one’s own practice. FREE COFFEE is playing with “la zone de chalandise” of artistic practices.

I worked in an advertising agency.
I hate advertising.
My experience led to a constant interest in the study of urban and commercial trickery – also known in French as roublardise. To reveal the economical construct of urban contexts, I use the effectiveness of commercial strategies against itself in a tautological and often parasitic manner. To a further extent, my practice tackles the aesthetics of bureaucracy, entrepreneurship, and efficiency through relational, situational, and contextually specific works, self-reflecting upon the economy of artistic practice in a production-driven society.
