GALAXIE
2000-2008

These discotheques frontal views, picked up arround Mediterranean space, are affiliated with "the architecture of Las Vegas": architectures of direct communication aiming at an attraction established by verbal connections and symbolic systems of their signs.(*)

Their fronts, associating extravagant concept and banal structure, are a raw material to collect and re-use, and to evoke a world without any intention of perenniality, governed by the need for generating a maximum benefit while reducing the production cost to the essential,.. ..and which require of the "archaeologists of the contemporary", a continuous reactivity.
