Stephen Wilks also exhibits photographs at the Chantrerie.
Born in 1964 in Bridgewater (England), he lives and works in Berlin.
Stephen Wilks' work has a visual and emotional tension that runs through both the photographs and the installations. The photographs are in colour and are all set in the urban environment: people walking down the street, mosquitoes in the sky, pavements, a supermarket. An enigmatic, ambiguous and subtle work, which projects an inner monologue into street life and everyday life.
Stephen Wilks performs an action with his Trojan Donkey (2000), carrying the donkey Balthazar, made of cotton and fabric, on his back through the streets of Cahors. It is an event that mixes religious (the wearing of the cross), political (the demonstration) and humorous (the horse replaced by the donkey) connotations.
