why decay ?
A state or
A process of decomposition to a statement of hope or desire
From the darker side of our sentiments there will be a new beautiful melody
From destruction we can build new emotions.
From tragedy there will be certain kind of perfection.
À partir d’une perte il y a toujours des retrouvailles
Inside absence there is always a presence
To confirm all of those declamations perfume is the medium.Perfume comes from the process of decompositionAnd from this decay we can create new fantasies.Rano maso rano masina rano manitra.

At the beginning each painting will be almost virgin. Black lines on the new playground.Every day each painting will be sprayed with one perfume chosen from the library of fragrances.The idea is to create from the decomposition of the perfume and the painting a new visual aspect of hopes and desires.The audience will deal with the evolution of all the installation andAgain from dirt we can create beauty and from decay we can built peace.
