Artist Holo Memories, 2018 Holographic sculpture with 30 x 40 cm glass hologram palette in steel structure 100 x 55 x 30 cm Edition of 4
Within the steel outline of a briefcase a holographic image of a digital neuronal structure is overlaid on a painter’s palette of pure color to suggest a relational structure between creation, perception and commodification.
'I composed this sculptural and light piece by associations of a neuronal network, transparent colors and painter's accessories, as to suggest a cartographic paradigm of my practice where the brain is the territory and the viewer’s eye the map'
Contemporary neurosciences provide detailed imagery of how our brain and memory function. Yet from these images is difficult to map and represent what is cognition or how we create meaning. Boissonnet often combines the entrenched meaning of maps and globes with symbolic imagery of tools and actions to create systems of meaning in his installations. The painter’s palette is a recurring accessory that he uses to suggest the artistic practice of image creation. This is his first artwork using imagery of the brain. The digital tensor imagery is a recording of neuronal connections which the artist relates to Marcel Duchamp and the idea that the brain of the viewer at the end establishes the meaning and the work as ‘art’.
