After several years spent working using the outline of a Kalashnikov AK-47 stenciled onto pages torn from newspapers and magazines (examining political, gastronomical or sporting questions, or reframing classics from the history of art), the artist has now come out of his workshop with the intention of experimenting not only with techniques for painting on rocks but also of playing with the origins of art and violence. This series of photographs documents the site that he suggests for his weapons, re-examined this time with clay and natural pigments that he has used to leave the silhouette of the most widely-used weapon in history on the rocks of a forest in France.
