Pluie d'air
Fascinated by natural phenomena, Michel Blazy has developed an organic oeuvre where plants sprout from everyday objects, and food becomes sculpture or spreads out into friezes of mildew. His changing installations bear witness to the artist’s interest in the temporal nature of the living. Pluie d’air strays from Blazy’s typical work, focusing as it does on more sinister mutations of matter. Glue dripped down to form stringy formations that solidified in mid-air. Their suspended movement evokes nature gone off course, with altered elements: as if water, laden with the sinister pollution of the air, was taking on the threatening look of petrol, carbon, and all that we burn but that was meant to remain buried within the earth. The image is not, alas, a forecast, and the work is a fiction only for those who refuse to see.
