lamathilde
Approach: the word of authority, critical of authority
Reappropriation of speech and criticism and make it a standard or an authority, then re questioning this new authority and continue this process again and again.
This approach is only possible with an associated decline in a humorous vision and the use of rhetoric. (art and technique of persuasion that is propaganda language in image)
Any form of ideological oppression necessarily involves language and it is up to the artist to dismantle stereotypes.
Thinking about social class hierarchy in speeches. Submission to conventions
Fascism within social family and marital structures.
Each is assigned to its fixed place, always socially established in the interest of society.
We know the originality does not really exist, everything has been said and then repeated re-quotes.
I manipulate, modify, and divert these said rédits culture.
Reversal language levels within power relations.
Break the mold ready to think and willing to talk in which each of us flows without even thinking.
My job is to make visible and “audible” which looks into the language of images and language.
