Photographic commission of the Contemporary Art Committee of Saint-Merry
Church in Paris. This is a permanent installation.


The first Stations of the Cross had fourteen enamel stations and was built
on the pillars of Saint-Merry Church in 1867. Three stations were stolen:
the eighth, the eleventh and the twelfth. The photographic installation is based
on fragments of the enamels of 1867 and illustrates the fourteen stations.
It occupies the vacancies on the three pillars of the original missing works.  

The photographic method is the raw material for the mental picture of the work.
The moving fragments interact across the stations of the path and lead the viewer
to a paradoxical perception via the pixilation of the images, which draws reality
further away with the spectator’s approach. The contemporary way of cross
oscillates between dream and reminiscence.
