dédale 1: tripping on emoji

This is the first piece for the Dédale (Festival d’art actuel) in the streets of Belvès.
Belvès is a charming Village located in Périgord (France) which is considered as one of the cradle of Humankind as loads of major pieces of Parietal Art have been discovered in the area such as Lascaux.
I started to investigate with cement because it felt like a very primitive way of working and through that piece I wanted to enhance a bridge between Parietal Art and contemporary art.
In that case, I found very interesting that our ancestors used images to communicate because writing didn’t exist yet and that nowadays through the new communication medias we use emojis to transmit emotions faster and avoid writing. I am basically telling my trip from Tenerife to Belvès as I would have ‘wrote’ it on any given phone.
