SEroux 

What kind of archipelago are we made of ?



This is à collaborative - unofficial and  under construction site. With his agreement, it attempts to present Séroux's highly singular work. We are two young women, researchers in Art History, passionate about this work in different ways, and often surprised by it. In the words of Marcel Duchamp, the viewer can also 'make a work' of something unusual. That's what it's all about.

An inventory is currently underway.

ALL HERE IS ABOUT PLURAL IDENTITY : IT'S LIVES, IT'S WORKS, IT'S OUTAGES & DELIGHTS.


A SINGULAR COLLECTIVE

If Séroux is a true ‘archipelist’, it's because, like Pessoa, this name covers not only the original name of Jean Séroux, the Belgian painter, draughtsman and photographer, but also the name of the collective he formed with heteronyms such as David Realh, Alex Svi, and the Photographic Collections of Zorah Somexki, those of art historian Paul Qwest and others.

 

A form

This research takes the form of a series of heteronyms that allow him to visualise a wide variety of his perceptions. 

 

The substance

 It's about a plural expression that offers a view of each of the sensibilities that are superimposed on him, and therefore also on us, by orchestrating them.

 

An archipelagic philosophy

It's implicit in a publication co-written with Elisa Brune and published in 2019 by Odile Jacob: "Nos vies comme événement" (Our lives as events).


FORM BECOME SUBSTANCE

If the form and content of this work seem so singular, it's because it seems "unprecedented" : out of identity clichés, formal categories, cultural fog and social posturing.

 

It acts as a truism: reality is beyond comprehension, with its infinite diversity of possible interpretations. The work seems to embrace this unthought, polyphonic.

 

If Friedrich Nietzsche was right when he wrote that "without music, life would be a mistake", could it be that without a plural perception like Séroux's, we would see nothing of the essence of the contemporary world? Daring, but possible.

Arthur Rimbaud, after "le bateau ivre", abandoned by friends on the pretext of bad taste, took the opposite tack by unwittingly inventing the concept of "MAUVAIS GENRE".
