I will review this collage that touches me because it is related to my childhood. I have already made a collage where a horse's head is juxtaposed to a child's head (Horse girl, collage 2144, 2009 http://www.stephanus.com/images/collages/med/2144.jpg), but could one could believe that it is a momentary gesture due to the little girl bringing the horse's head in front of her own face.

Here, the merging is completed, even if the image is broken in the head. If in the two collages the two bodies are sculptures, in the latter it is passive, it is manipulated and you would think that when the book is closing, it would be folded in half and flattened between the pages, even if the head does not seem to want to bend at all! I feel very sad because it reminds me of a burial. But another association arises: the dunce cap on the bad pupil and the tyranny of the written word. Memory of a violent re-education from left to right, hatred of school and desire to escape - by day-dreaming or feigned illness. But the manipulative hands seem too soft to allow such an interpretation. The child-monster would therefore be safe in the book. It would be his refuge. Mystery of the image that eludes me and questions me on a figure starting from a labeled pair of marble legs, becoming a living body above and ends with a disproportionately large head half-human half-horse, with a single eye looking at me while receding, depriving me of any opportunity to see clearly what’s going on here.

Je vais commenter ce collage qui me touche car il a un lien avec mon enfance. J’ai déjà fait un collage avec une tête de cheval se juxtaposant à une tête d’enfant ( Horse girl, collage 2144, 2009 http://www.stephanus.com/images/collages/med/2144.jpg) , mais on pouvait croire à un effet momentané dû au geste de la petite fille ramenant la tête de cheval devant son propre visage.
Ici, la fusion est accomplie, même si l’image se rompt dans la tête. Si dans les deux collages les deux corps sont des sculptures, dans ce dernier il est passif, il est manipulé et on pourrait penser que le livre se refermant, il serait plié en deux et aplati entre les pages, même si la tête semble ne vouloir se plier du tout ! J’en éprouve une grande tristesse, car cela me fait penser à un ensevelissement. Mais une autre association me vient : le bonnet d’âne du mauvais élève et la tyrannie de la chose écrite. Souvenir d’une rééducation violente de gaucher en droitier, haine de l’école et désir de m’en échapper – par le rêve ou la maladie simulée. Mais les mains manipulatrices me semblent bien trop douces pour permettre une telle interprétation. L’enfant-monstre serait donc en sécurité dans le livre. Ce serait son refuge. Mystère de l’image qui m’échappe et qui m’interroge à mon tour sur une figure qui part d’une paire de jambes en marbre étiquetée, devient corps plus haut et finit avec une tête démesurée mi- humaine mi- cheval, avec un œil unique qui me regarde et s’éloigne, m’ôtant toute possibilité d’y voir clair.
