Les Reluqueurz (Toile de Jouy), installation views and details, 2004
This wallpaper was originally created in 2004 as part of an installation also including a video projection and a black and white print of a nude or naked man. It is a contemporary interpretation of Toile de Jouy, an intensely decorative printing pattern dating from 18th century France, that traditionally depicted domestic, pastoral and sometimes political scenes. Here, a narrative of seduction and gallantry becomes the setting for a frivolous meeting of the eyes.
