Mem means in French "read-only memory (ROM)", as opposed to the "random access memory (RAM)" of the computer, while in science, Mem (Maternal-Embryonic) is the name of a medical experiment on genetics and fertility. In Hebrew, Mem or the letter M symbolizes the interior, water, mater and mother. I talk about of women as mothers, their relationship to procreation. Ode, suffering, birth, exaltation.

« Vivez, si m’en croyez, n’attendez à demain : Cueillez dès aujourd’hui les roses de la vie. » Pierre de Ronsard Carpe diem is a Latin aphorism, usually translated "seize the day", taken from book 1 of the Roman poet Horace's work Odes. Collige, virgo, rosas ("gather, girl, the roses") appears at the end of the poem "De rosis nascentibus" ("Of growing roses") attributed to Ausonius or Virgil. It encourages youth to enjoy life before it is too late. The same ideology was used by the french poet Pierre de Ronsard when he wrote to his beloved Hélène, about her beauty that he compared to the fragile roses of life. I use pigments on linen stretched canvas and finish with gloss varnish.

Mireille Loup talks here about the "raptus" of a child, those departures out of ordinary consciousness, but also of "polytropic" intelligence (from the Greek, polytropos: several changes / multiple laps), this faculty of polymorphic adaptability that gives the ability to make detours, to wander in a positive way and that Homer used to describe Ulysses, “Ulysses polytropos”, a metaphor of the uncatchable octopus with its thousand folds.

" "A kingdom of fallen or about to fall angels, but still a kingdom ..." (James Agee). The shift from childhood to adolescence remains a secret passage, a complex and fascinating suspended time. Mireille Loup gives us almost ghostly images, where the characters portrayed, express the expectation of a still uncertain future. In a period of life when the eyes of others create a clear link to existence, her pictures make a wonderful account of this state of "almost asleep" characteristic of adolescence." Floriane Doury, curator, Sept. 2015.

Versus Dystopia or the Poetics of Uncertainty, is a research on Men and faith. It opposes the idea of a counter-utopia. It nourishes the hope that when something serious, something that defies understanding happens, Man rises to a higher form of humanity and awakens to the sublime reality of solidarity.

If you want it with the laminate on Dibon aluminum and chassis, please, contact, me. Versus Dystopia or the Poetics of Uncertainty, is a research on Men and faith. It opposes the idea of ​​a counter-utopia. It nourishes the hope that when something serious, something that defies understanding happens, Man rises to a higher form of humanity and awakens to the sublime reality of solidarity. Taoism teaches that when habits can no longer continue, one must follow a path of extraordinary behaviour. One has to "cross the great river". In Chinese philosophy one must confront uncertain waters to reach new shores. Dystopia depicts an imaginary society, a society organised in such a way as to prevent its members from achieving happiness. To the point of becoming a utopia that turns into a nightmare. The current trend is to endlessly repeat that the world is ill, that our planet is dying, that our civilisation is decadent, that humans are cowards or worse, traitors. I felt that it was important to create Versus Dystopia (...) I often like to believe that uncertainty is what makes us the most human, humbly human.
