Inspirations
Even though many works have guided our artistic reflection, we chose to focus on 4-3 (ça dépend si on arrive à tout traduire à temps) works which are representative of our main lines:
R. Magritte (1898-1967), La trahison des images (1929)
(source of inspiration for the title of our project just as our videos)

Vanity, through a Pieter Claesz’s (1596-1661) painting (1630)
(source of inspiration for the ethical part, the problematic of living thing’s definition has been mentioned within the team and during different meetings such as « curiositas ».)

Plato, Allegory of the Cave
This allegory proposed by Plato explains in illustrated terms human conditions of access to knowledge and reality.
(source of inspiration for our primary sculpture + connection with Magritte’s works + link with our work about image, interpretations and transmission of a message )
Four seasons, Arcimboldo (1527-1593)
Usage of fruits (so living things) in order to talk about immortality and flatter human genus. (glorification of the Habsburg line, immutable like the seasons).
(source of inspiration for our object of study : a fruit, a lemon + ethique : reflection about leak of time, anthropocentrism, power.)
