Pancho Les nuages éphémères de Xi' An
Artist's statement:
57 small clouds gathered to form a transitory guard, like the terra cotta warriors of Xi' An in China who protected the Qin Emperor.
But another vision is that of transitory….
What could be more transitory than a gathering of clouds? perception does not last that the moment of a breeze which forms it and deforms it and there remains only the imaginary one to play to structure the impalpable one.

Fear of looking each one, fear of communicating, faciliting reciprocal ignorance, crowning of the “every man for himself”, the transitory remainder king of loneliness in a number…

Pancho Alphabet éphémère
Artist's statement:
Paul Valéry: " we civilizations, we know now that we are mortal "...
Even the most powerful alphabets, carrier of so great semantics of the peoples in their highlight, vectors of radiant cultures, finished one day in the oversight of each one, not to be more than relics, subjects of studies reserved for an elite unable to summarize with simple words all the complexity of these disappeared words.
So many short-lived civilizations (even if this shortlive has been a lot of hundredyears...), fainted so simply as a bombshell are engulfed in the circles which it provokes and entails with him yesterday, today and tomorrow...
