Concept: Sur l’image, une collection mus\u00e9ale de centaines de col\u00e9opt\u00e8res align\u00e9s dans la m\u00eame direction. Ils sont de tailles et de couleurs vari\u00e9es. L’image parcourt vers le haut les rang\u00e9es d’insectes tandis qu’en parall\u00e8le d\u00e9file une liste de paradigmes liant la notion de beaut\u00e9 \u00e0 celle de la mort (voir liste ci-dessous). D\u00e9marche: Dans l\u2019histoire de la peinture et de la sculpture, les sc\u00e8nes de morts et de souffrances sont innombrables : Le Laocoon, le Supplice de Marsyas, Judith d\u00e9capitant Holopherne, le Massacre des Innocents\u2026 Notre int\u00e9r\u00eat y est essentiellement esth\u00e9tique, attach\u00e9e aux qualit\u00e9s formelles de l\u2019oeuvre comme il l’est \u00e0 la couleur des col\u00e9opt\u00e8res clou\u00e9s sur une planche au mus\u00e9e. La diversit\u00e9 et la luminosit\u00e9 de leurs couleurs sont impressionnantes. On ne peut s’emp\u00eacher de les admirer. Mais qu’admire t-on au juste ? Le plaisir esth\u00e9tique semble omettre la mort des insectes pour ne garder que la beaut\u00e9 fascinante de leurs couleurs.\u00a0 Comme pour l’art et comme pour le th\u00e9\u00e2tre, la contemplation de cadavres de col\u00e9opt\u00e8res provoque des affects distanci\u00e9s et variables d’un individu \u00e0 l’autre. La beaut\u00e9 et la mort sont des notions issues d’exp\u00e9riences, de croyances et de valeurs qui influencent la fa\u00e7on dont un individu per\u00e7oit la r\u00e9alit\u00e9 et r\u00e9agit \u00e0 cette perception. Lorsqu’on prend conscience que notre plaisir esth\u00e9tique s’est impos\u00e9 devant la r\u00e9alit\u00e9 de ce qu’il recouvrait, se dresse une liste de constats contradictoires qui prennent la forme de paradigmes liant la beaut\u00e9 et la mort.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Concept: The image shows a museum collection of hundreds of beetles lined up in the same direction. They vary in size and colour. The image scrolls upwards through the rows of insects, while a list of paradigms linking the notion of beauty to that of death runs in parallel (see list below). Approach: There are countless scenes of death and suffering in the history of painting and sculpture: The Laocoon, The Supplication of Marsyas, Judith Beheading Holofernes, The Massacre of the Innocents… Our interest is essentially aesthetic, attached to the formal qualities of the work as it is to the colour of the beetles nailed to a board in the museum. The diversity and luminosity of their colours are impressive. You can’t help but admire them. But what exactly are we admiring? Aesthetic pleasure seems to overlook the death of insects, leaving only the fascinating beauty of their colours.\u00a0 As with art and theatre, the contemplation of beetle corpses provokes distanced emotions that vary from one individual to another. Beauty and death are notions derived from experiences, beliefs and values that influence the way an individual perceives reality and reacts to that perception. When we realise that our aesthetic pleasure has been imposed in the face of the reality of what it covers, a list of contradictory observations emerges in the form of paradigms linking beauty and death.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":12853,"menu_order":0,"template":"","portfolio-category":[442],"portfolio-tag":[],"class_list":["post-12852","portfolio","type-portfolio","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","portfolio-category-friche-18-oct-2024-14h"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.instantsvideo.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/portfolio\/12852","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.instantsvideo.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/portfolio"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.instantsvideo.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/portfolio"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.instantsvideo.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/12853"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.instantsvideo.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=12852"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"portfolio-category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.instantsvideo.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/portfolio-category?post=12852"},{"taxonomy":"portfolio-tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.instantsvideo.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/portfolio-tag?post=12852"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
