Abstract
From the concept of heterotopia, and in the light of a personal artistic practice, this
article proposes an investigation of space and place, of the passage from one space to
another which makes it possible to rewrite the world in new other space. As an artistresearcher,
my artistic production revolves around hybrid objects, paintings-objects,
assemblages-simulacra, and narrative ready-mades, which explore various hanging
systems, from the base integrated into the work, to suspension, up to being displayed
on the floor or on the wall. A protean work which is characterized by the production of
spaces that could be qualified as heterotopic, since each of the works invites a distancing
and a heterotopic experience, like each installation forms a discontinuous space, a place
welcoming events and reflections: spaces for autonomous experiences. Also, artwork and
installation devices can be understood as “other spaces,” since the representation of space
necessarily generates the question of heterotopia, through the notion of juxtaposition,
fragmentation, and discontinuity: the essential characteristics of visual arts language.
Keywords
