This work is conceived in situ and deals with the idea of the
lighthouse. Art is a hobby for society in general. What is the meaning
of the sense of exchange and coexistence? What does public space mean
in these circumstances? Can’t contemporary art overcome the
current situation in another way? Culture is collapsing economically
and becoming isolated. In order to confront this present, it seems
necessary for me to carry out contextual work on the role of the
museum in times of crisis, on the human being as a concept, and on the
myth of the importance of the couple. For this, I would like to recall
the first «punk» in history. To Diogenes, who lived in a
barrel and rejected the system... I believe in art as a shared idea,
similar to the gathering in a church. Space where we experience
emotions together. The idea is to use the museum as a lighthouse,
which is then visible in the evening and at night, regardless of the
museum’s opening hours. The museum thus finds another way to be
able to communicate. The lights emit Morse code, using that famous
phrase from Diogenes of Sinope: I am looking for a human. «I am
looking for a man» in French, this phrase - by confusing man as
a figure of humanity and man of the male gender - makes one think of
the exclamation I have often heard from heteronormative women,
signifying their search for a true romantic encounter.
