Ego (Echo), 2013
Engraving on plate
in mirror polished brass /
20 x 30 cm
This work uses the materials, forms and dimensions that serve to indicate – and thereby establish – a professional function considered to be noble and the social status that goes with it.
Whether they are lawyers, doctors, notaries or other specialists, all the professions with a high status traditionally use this signage to
identify their offices.
Based on this observation, OliveOlivier imagines that an artist could also be "streetwise" and make this known.
But rather than indicating his professional activity, he prefers to use irony by advising to go straight to the point: to write only, in very large
letters, what seems to him to be a constant among many of us.
