The Time Machine
Original title: La machine du temps
A human leg caught in clockwork: it is the body that keeps time turning.
Cogs, screws, a crank bolted to the ankle. The thigh is already metal, the foot is still flesh, and there is a watch strapped across the instep. The whole mechanism sits in a casing shaped like a jigsaw piece. H. G. Wells need not apply: the only time travel on offer is walking, one step after another, winding the works.

About the series
Each canvas in this cycle starts from a title — an expression, a brand, a slogan — and treats it as a subject for classical painting. The result is a chronicle of contemporary public life, in which power, money and belief appear as characters.
