Dessous, Quentin Dupuy

Dessous is a limited edition of 10 digital collages printed in postcard format and presented inside a mock polyurethane rock.

Images of production lines from a variety of industrial activities are combined with found tourist postcards of underground caves. The two universes, simultaneously strange and ordinary, clash and propell each other into the limits of absurdity, while the gestures of contemporary industrial labour are extricated from a seemingly banal representation and coloured in fantastic overtones. Dessous inscribes itself in Quentin Dupuy’s work on historical developments of the fantastic imaginary and how they relate to socio-technical and scientific transformations in the contemporary world.

Quentin Dupuy is a graduate from the Sandberg Instituut ( Amsterdam, NL.) and the Villa Arson ( Nice, FR. ) Through sculpture, installation, objects and situated interventions his work adresses in a readily humorous tone the roles of design and decorative arts in the production of social imaginaries
