Wood sculptures of Christian Comte in movement




"After studies of Art and ceramics Christian Comte takes part in many exhibitions.

In its first research, he deforms the bodies from a delirious point of view, compresses the space to dilate  and give him a curve. He evolves then to a sculpture which is a dialogue with the world.


It is from now on the matter which speaks and teaches: old branchs, a shoe, a metal can become a sculpture, a drawing, a poem, a music…"

Reconstruction of the movement of Apollon of Praxiteles and his Vénus of Cnides


Which are qualities of a statue of Praxiteles?

The first is the flexibility. Thus known as the author of  Amours, in connection with Aphrodite de Cnide. “The talent of the artist, he says, is so powerful whom the marble naturally so hard and so stiff is softened to train each one of its members”. (Jackie Pigeaud)

Marilyn Monroe - Philip K.Dick



Philip K.Dick
      
With different narrative instruments, the author and the director start by determining what Eric Henriet invites “the point of precise divergence” from which the history changed. Thus, in the film of Lee, it is the incrustation of false stock-shot, color sepia, which plays this part. From the start, the question of credibility, with the eyes of the public concerned, is determining. It is necessary that this “point of divergence” is sufficiently consensual to be effective.
The Man in the high Castle, 1962

John Galliano - Kate Moss

" One designer whose work has always been informed by a richness of imagination and history is John Galliano, who acts as a guest fashion editor this month with his favourite model Kate Moss (…)"  Vogue December 2013 

" The scene is set. I lean into Kate's ear.
«  Can you keep a secret? » She is charged, the berry stains on her perfect mouth and like a butterfly she alights and hovers into the perfect position, feeling and finding her light.
Mahaaaaaaajhooooooooor shapes.
Then she leaves the set, looks through his camera, sizes up the set and mentally crops the picture.
I am now feeling so much love in this studio that it takes me back. Her only script is the dress she's wearing." John Galliano - Vogue December 2013
