Work based on appropriation. 2023, all along summer season I watched earth burning on social medias.

I am scrolling on my phone.

I am sitting on the beach on this warm sunny day.

Small videos and images of various things are flashing up on my screen, right after this funny video of a dude failing his attempt at doing a backflip (lol), one videos shows a forest burning somewhere in the world. And a few posts later.

An other one. In an other area of the world.

Images are impressive, stunning.

“Wow that’s bad”

I am scrolling through.

Maybe the forest behind me is burning too and it will pop up on my screen.

I keep scrolling.

Our house is on fire, and we calmly watch it burning.

And I go back for a swim.

Aestheticization of the tragedic.

Those images were created based on screenshots taken from videos found on social medias plateform and digitally manipulated, in an attempt to explore the aesthetic of those catastrophic events.
