He wanders throught the optical realm and its allegories, Antoine Aguilar enters a vast process of deconstruction, dismantling the generic idea of the screen and its analogy within the framwork of painting.

Manipulated, crumpled, rushed, the fibre of the paper apparent, a landscape breaking the surface, black and homogenous.
The abyss offers itself to us via a cloud of disorderly pixels, sans signal, without meaning, without message.
A scene, unknown, appears from the snow – red, green, blue – from the light, a network is manifest.
A jumble of picture elements, constellations of points, dots, pixels, dreams, the very surface of visible space, an ocean of photons, the air of repose.
This is what it is to go through the screen and arrive in the space between stars.
