"Rochet Sedin [...] dut rompre son lien vassalique afin d’être en mesure de s’expatrier à Bruxelles en Belgique, et ce, afin de vivre de sa peinture et d’enfin s’exprimer librement, les mains et les bottes désormais défangées, foulant le bitume étincelant et non-plus la crasse."
Extrait de la biographie fictive de Rochet Sedin écrite par Pierre-Louis Thirion. Biographie qui fut donnée comme point de départ pour la création d’une pièce à l’occasion d’une exposition collective dans la galerie Rochet Sedin à Bruxelles.
« Rochet Sedin [...] had to break his vassalage link in order to be able to move to Brussels in Belgium, in order to make a living from his painting and to express himself freely, with his hands and boots now cleaned from the mud, treading the shiny asphalt and no longer the filth. »
Extract from the fictional biography of Rochet Sedin, written by Pierre-Louis Thirion, which was given as a starting point for the group exhibition FOAB at Gallery Rochet Sedin. Initially exhibited in-situ, this piece raises new questions when detached from its context.
