Jean-pierre mot
Research
Within my creative process, conceptual by nature, I use serendipity and chance encounters as a method of creation resulting in mixed-media installations of diverse assemblages giving way to satire and subversive semantics underlined by words, characters and iconographies found on discarded packagings, objects of consumption, architectural detail and everyday gesture through site-specific endeavors - while using commercial branding, food and technology in an oneiric manner to mistranslate informations. I am interested in ideas of consumption, mass production and mass media portrayals through the study of labor, colonial imaginary, body politics and remnants of the anthropocene.
