Pierre-Yves Le Duc. MAGIGONIE / Artist talk

French artist Pierre-Yves Le Duc explains the genesis of "Magigonie"; the poetic dialogue of his sign with the Italy of the Thirties

"Pierre-Yves Le Duc juxtaposes order and chaos, the known with the unknown. Two worlds, two visions, chase each other in recursive order. On the one hand, we are shown the known World in a series of postcards reproducing some of its most iconic places; on the other, there is a primordial World or perhaps a future, post-human World. Or, one might one posit that what is mirrored in this quasi-infinite, cyclical sequence - toying with ideas of repetition and reproduction so dear to the artist - is actually the same World, at times masked, at others exposed, raw and naked, 'atomized'. And hence, one might wonder: which version is then the true one?"
