Mark Hachem Gallery is proud to announce 'Mystifications' by French Artist Yves Hayat. Mystifications will showcase until October 11, 2014 at Mark Hachem Gallery Beirut.
An artist talk and open discussion with the artist will begin at 7pm.
My artwork between photography, installation and "Narrative Figuration" proposes visions where theatricalization is a part of the project. I am a total visual consumer : I film, download, scan, retouch.... as the director of a new reality. Using superimpositions, shifts, misappropriations, I confront past and present, beauty and horror, luxury and violence, indifference and fanaticism. Through a questioning about the art/ politic/ media relations, I try to conceive a critical art work where the attraction for the culture of media, cinema and advertising shows through. Using modern techniques, my work propose a report of what our history and our society have thought, generated, transformed, destroyed... while always keeping in mind that when the work of Art creates unrest, it evacuates the common place". Yves Hayat
