florian cochet
installation
Florian Cochet has been alive since 1985 and has not stopped to create. He has, among other
things, engraved a breakwater, cleaned an old wall advertisement, pressed elder flower and
soaked cloth in it, coated sheets of A4 paper with oil, left a pile of leaves thirty-five meters high,
erased one Landscape postcard as well as various wall surfaces, stacked newspapers and white
paintings in two equivalents, un-strung a pearl necklace, partially rusted screws, silk-screened
completly black newspapers, filled various containers with liquids and drilled one, flipped a Crucifix
on an angle, covered two biblical characters in ballpoint pen, and carried poetry on his belt…
