Ernest T.

Ernest T. says of the artist that his presence must be "regular but not excessive to avoid a weariness of the art world...". In the tradition of the Incohérents, the first moderns of the 19th century, Ernest T. hijacks the conventions of art in installations where the press clipping, the illustration, the text are parasitized by an abstract painting that is always the same and that blurs the meaning of the text with an unfailing sense of humour. 

In Cahors, he proposes an installation that evokes the atmosphere of the funfairs of the beginning of the century, where photography had its favourable experimental grounds. Enlarged to the scale of a palisade, one of his press cuttings, a found image representing the inanity of an inauguration and whose faces have been hollowed out, allows visitors to have their portrait "taken".
