Press
Pierre RigalAbout
Press plays with the image of the modern man in its huge triviality and at the same time in its mysterious complexity. The body of this individual-product,
this troubling dandy, is transformed by the standardised succession of his own automatisms, but also by the cogwheels of his narrow vital space. Maybe by consent, he finds himself captive in a near to empty room. The mechanical changes of this physical and mental environment act upon his body, forcing him to perpetually adapt his position and his movement. He is then taken into an absurd and anguishing dead-end
