The Exhibition at the Fine Art Museum of Clermont-Ferrand was a good opportunity for me to show 3 series combining the idea of the question of the body in the community… In french, we talk about « un corps d’armée », meaning that the group of soldier of the foreign legion constitute a real body… Each body of soldier being a part of this collective body… Two wreslters fighting sometime create that similar effect… becoming a strange animal moving… Each sumo wrestler is also a member of his community (Heya): The transformation of his body, being bigger and bigger is also the result of this collective effect. Being a member of that kind of group needs a total involvement of the person, and the modification of his visual aspect, threw the evolution of the body.
