Bio
Prolonging the visual and sound poetries of XX ° century, Akenaton (Philippe Castellin, Jean Torregrosa) develops since 1984 performative intermedia practices which, using all resources offered by digital technology, aim at expressing the will to go ” outside the page ” by the construction, in situ, of a „plastic” space semantically fed by the mediatique memory and the images-sounds which populate it. Since 1990 Akenaton manages and publishes DOC ( K )S, international reference review for the experimental poetries.
Statement
AKENATON has developed for a long time works connected to the „strong” images of XX ° century (?Images of XX ° century?, Gallery G. Vitte Ajaccio, LeLieu / Inter, Quebec) and in a constant will to articulate its work on a social and political questioning which, beyond History, results in the question of time : durability and future, streams, stability and dissolutions.
