Sans titre
The drawing Untitled (2001) has an anecdotal aspect due to its layout: it is not exactly centred on the sheet of paper which creates the impression that it was done spontaneously, as suggested by the borders of the cleverly interrupted elements. This is not the case, however, as this work is part of a production process set up in 1999, in which each person works separately and then creates “twists” by pooling their drawings and ideas. The duo Mrzyk and Moriceau do not want this process to make the hand that is at work identifiable. In a bedroom sparsely furnished with a bed and curtains in front of an opening, an intimate scene takes place before our eyes: three folders are interlocked in an unusual three-way. The evocation of an erotic fantasy has become a recurrent theme in the duo’s work and remains typical of their spirit, but is it really the expression of a fantasy when it is diverted through such a bizarre analogy?
