Daniel Hourde, entre academisme et derision: ahlala, desillusion totale
Deux corps masculins nus, nerveux, presque ecorches, dans une pose dynamique, encadrent la statue tres classique de Condorcet qu'ils semblent vouloir atteindre. L'installation provisoire de sculptures de Daniel Hourde quai Conti attire le regard par l'association de statues de style academique et d'eclatantes lettres rouges.
A cote des deux ahlalaphores, "Desillusion totale" est un personnage aux ailes mitees, coiffe d'un bonnet dore qui l'aveugle. S'agirait-il d'Icare qui, voulant s'echapper du labyrinthe, s'est brûle les ailes en s'approchant trop pres du soleil et dont la desillusion est certes totale? Ou s'agit-il de l'artiste?

Daniel Hourde between academicism and derision: ahlala, total disillusionment
Two naked male bodies, nervous, almost flayed in a dynamic pose, frame the classic statue of Condorcet they seem to want to achieve. The temporary installation of sculptures by Daniel Hourde quai Conti attracts attention by combining academic style statues and bright red letters.
Besides the two ahlalaphores, "Total Disillusionment" is a figure with wings moth-eaten, wearing a gold cap that blind. Would this be of Icarus who, wishing to escape from the labyrinth, has burned wings, approaching too close to the sun and that is certainly total disillusionment? Or is it the artist?
