David Marin Works with the extraction of material, reintroducing manufactured elements into the natural milieus from which our industrial society has extracted them. Thus these installations of tree stumps reconstructed from coloured pencil shavings represent shedded skins which question the impact of man confronted by his natural environment. A self-taugth artist, David Marin first began in painting, inspired by movement and the diffraction of matter. His participatioin in « Emergency Room » in 2008-2009 caused hime to expand his production towards other media-video, photography, « social » installations, resonating with an immediate event. His current performances bear witness to a gaze focused on the mutations of our environment.
