Cette nuit, j’ai compris tout d’un coup qu’il y avait un lien entre mon selfie et ce collage : le clown. En effet, depuis toujours, je m’amuse à faire des autoportraits clownesques, car je sais bien qu’il s’agit de masques. La photo est venue lors d’une projection vidéo dans mon workshop : je me suis glissé entre le beamer et l’écran et ai cherché à placer le rond sur mon œil. Ce dernier est mon outil de création outre sa fonction de rapport au monde. Quant aux couleurs, mes premiers tableaux, à l’âge de 15 ans, ont été des visages moitié rouges moitié turquoise. Et mon polo m’a été offert par mes collègues à l’occasion de ma retraite, car ils m’avaient imaginé comme un artiste bariolé. D’autres éléments de la photo pourraient faire penser à un esprit vif, à une kippa, à la maladie et Dieu sait quoi d’autre. Le collage présente les mêmes couleurs primaires, avec une tête de clown et un habit chamarré, me faisant penser à un général napoléonien. C’est un visage hybride, plus énigmatique que le mien, mais l’attitude dénote un certain pouvoir. Et je me suis dit cette nuit que j’étais peut-être un dictateur, oui, mais fragile. Il n’y a qu’à regarder le visage et les jambes. Et ma « monture » semble s’en désintéresser au plus haut point. Ou est-ce qu’elle se lamente devant tant de prétention ?  Voilà ce que ce collage semble me dire, alors que j’ai pensé tout d’abord à une représentation de Trump et à son rapport aux femmes. En regardant mon selfie une nouvelle fois, je me dis que je suis un drôle de type, et que c’est par l’humour que j’arrive à mieux voir en moi.

 



 




This night, I realized suddenly that there was a link between my selfie and my collage: the clown. Since always, I have fun doing clownish self-portraits because I know well that these are mere masks. The picture came during a video projection in my workshop: I slipped between the projector and the screen and have sought to place the ring on my eye which is my creation tool besides being the tool for my relationship with the outside world. As for the colors, my first paintings at the age of 15 years were faces which were half red half turquoise. And my polo was offered to me by my colleagues on the occasion of my retirement as they had imagined me as a colorful artist. Other elements of the picture might suggest a quick mind, a kippa, sickness and God knows what else. The collage has the same primary colors with a clown's head and a laced coat, making me think of a Napoleonic general. It is a hybrid face, more enigmatic than mine, but the attitude denotes a certain power. And I said to myself that night that I was perhaps a dictator, yes, but a fragile one. One has only to look at the face and legs. And my "horse" seems uninterested in the highest degree. Or does she lament before such claim? That's what this collage seems to tell me, when I first thought about a representation of Trump and his relationship to women. Looking at my selfie again, I think I'm a funny guy, and that I can better see myself through humor.
