Description

The work features an array of complex and intriguing motifs. Dominated by a powerful labyrinthine pattern in the background, the center of the work is marked by a half-human, half-animal face that appears to be an artistic fusion of a human and a majestic elephant. Floral motifs adorn the corners, adding natural harmony and richness of detail. The number "12" is prominently displayed, surrounded by the numbers "9" and "3," perhaps evoking a mysterious reference to time or hidden symbolism. The black and white frame reinforces the contrast and gives an elegant depth to the whole. The resolutely symmetrical composition draws the eye and encourages exploration of the meticulously executed details. This work evokes a world that is both mysterious and intriguing, a perfect marriage of dream and reality.

Excerpt from the story:
From the very beginning, the Ditous were distinguished from other inhabitants of the World by their specific superior capacity for reason and language.

"The DitOu enjoys a unique cosmic situation. It is at the center of the World."

AristOu't

In other words, for reasons that are still unknown, the DitOus were conceived as model Beings for all beings in nature. Gifted with prodigious intelligence, they discovered and understood their surroundings through conceptualization and reasoning. This intelligence allowed them to adapt their initially hostile living environment to their needs…»

Presentation

As a philosopher and artist, I am particularly interested in the current need to make sense in order to find one's place.

This whole process depends on the ability to feel a pleasant sensation that we have called "pleasure," the first indicator of inner alignment.

Despite the bad press it receives, pleasure is both central and indispensable to human well-being and development. I am therefore interested in the place we give to pleasure today, with the desire to remove it from the crosshairs of guilt.

To share, with strength and poetry, my desire to build together the world that awaits us, I use drawing and storytelling to understand and recount the paradoxical human of the 21st century in order to redefine pleasure and its place.

My life path mirrors that of a large part of Western citizens: born in a big city, I had a very demanding childhood focused on academic success. I grew up feeling like I didn't belong and that I was following a pre-defined path without having the space to express my needs. Once I came of age, despite my convictions and various commitments (nuit debout, civil disobedience, ZADist at Notre Dame des Landes at the time), I turned away from my artistic practice to pursue training in advertising and graphic design. Conflicting values and my inability to say "no" led me straight to burnout at the age of 23, which I identified much later. After graduating and in the midst of a search for meaning, I left everything behind to train in Social and Solidarity Economy. I was finally discovering a fascinating world with humanist values and promising dreams. However, despite the exciting prospects of the projects I supported, I regularly encountered conflicts within the work teams. I have observed various problems between poor communication and lack of self-awareness...

Cyril Dion's call to "think new imaginaries" and my work alongside researcher Isabelle Delannoy inspired me to create a mediation tool that would facilitate communication and the translation of sometimes daunting concepts. To do this, I chose to rely on art/drawing and what I like to call "philotherapy."

auPlaysir Imaginaire is the result of all the questions that have crossed my mind throughout my experiences.

However, one recurring topic has regularly challenged me: my feeling of discomfort with pleasure: if I allow myself to have it without having earned it, I feel guilty. If I don't allow myself to have it, I am unhappy... and what's more, the future looks like it will be without pleasure, between technological hyperfunctionalism or the "threat" of returning to the Stone Age... What place should we give to pleasure in the world of tomorrow? Are we doomed to endure our existence?

To initiate a momentum of change, this philosophical tale follows the path of therapy (knowing one's history in order to make conscious choices). I illustrate it with works divided into 3 peoples:

> the “DitOus" tell our story, I draw while being interested in the question “how did we get here?"

> the "DipatOus" and the "DinoutOus" embody our inner conflicts and/or the radicalization of today's society. I am interested in reminding people that behind our disagreements we all have the same needs and similar dreams.

Through poetry, humor and aesthetics, I question the collective imagination by telling what we are told in order to question our beliefs and rethink them.

My goal: to open and support dialogue where ignorance of oneself and one's history is a source of conflict and, in the worst cases, war (oh kingdom of displeasure). With auPlaysir, I carry the dream of a world that values pleasure, the return to sensuality, and the care of life. I work for the hope of a world at peace, aware of its history, which welcomes and respects difference, the singularity of the multitude of life forms.
