Julien-Arnaud Corongiu

"My work focuses on the question of identity and the relationship of the individual to the world. It can also be articulated around a more social form, through the notions of determinism, exclusion and enslavement. I also evoke the memory and the dissolution of bodies in space.The uniform, by its interchangeable and universal aspect, questions the relationship to identity and its cancellation.

The images that I use, ranging from the figure of the soldier, personal photos, or even screenshots, testify in my opinion to a form of renunciation, to a certain fatalism.

The human figure, central, seems lost, constrained, held back by something in a chaotic in-between without any real spatio-temporal landmarks. It is present without really being there, already on the start."
