Fictional
narrative forms, such as literature and cinema, have been widely analyzed
and written about ; however, the study of fiction in the visual arts is
practically non-existent. In my own work, I have explored relationships
between architecture and fiction in a series of exhibitions which spanned
the years between 1993 and 2001. These exhibitions are part of a larger
oeuvre which follow five paradigms : in situ, readymade, abstract painting
and « relationship practices ». Fiction in the visual arts can
be termed an « transitive mix », as opposed to literary fiction,
which has been called a « intransitive patchwork » (Genette
1991). The writer borrows from reality in order to create fiction, while
the artist’s aim is to transform fiction into reality. |
