I believe in visual contrast, in showing up opposite, in signs as icons. This is what leaded me in the choice of an electric chair, empty and obsolete, in the middle of nowhere, degraded-made noble as a quite absurd graphic artwork. A sort of visual sacrilege, a monster-like object coming from a pop museum of modern horrors.

Death is not justice
Our 2010 project asked for the universal abolition of the death penalty.
For us it’s simple. The death penalty is a violation of human rights.
Article 5 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights states: “No one
shall be subjected to torture or to cruel, inhuman or degrading
treatment or punishment.”
How does that fit with beheading, stoning, hanging, lethally injecting
or shooting someone?
