The first stone
Frames 53 x 53 x 4 cm, mirror bottom, silver, bronze or grey, windows, photographic printing.
Our
history is marked by bursts of violence, those moments when, often out
of nationalism, hatred of a people, his resentment, are directed against
another people.
People hunted down, broken. It is a question of
eliminating, of denying a people, but also to erase his traces by
taking his land, his house, by scattering his tiniest memories. No more
home to feel safe; neighbours with whom gifts were exchanged at the
holidays become judges, informers and murderers.
A gesture symbolizes this moment of change, the one when the first stone is thrown.
