Véronique Hubert’s approach to her work is “epidemic”*. It is an association of ideas and
forms, that are constantly being adapted. She recycles and digests new ideas in order to produce singular combinations. With this attitude she casually mixes Lino Ventura with Gilles Deleuze, comics, silent cinema and silly jokes. Her work shamelessely combines installation, performance, DJing, video and drawing, art and cinema history, Eastern cultures and references to comics, science fiction and documentary aesthetics, sharp design and kitsch images. Véronique Hubert also takes a step back to let others collaborate when she organises parties. From events to exhibitions, her contemporary mix is a fictional universe which can be dreamy, humorous and sometimes upsetting. These parallel worlds are brought together and come to life through as a series of caricatures played by Véronique Hubert, they include the aloof and spineless Mimicry, the hysterical Utopia fairy or the over sensitive Femme Aux Grosses Mains (Woman With Big Hands). These characters stubbornly, but not without irony, re-enact our petty worries, aspirations and daily failures.

Utopia est en colère, mais pas trop.
(Utopia is angry, but just slightly)
“lalala” is originally the soundtrack of “entrer dans
la bouteille par les pieds” (step into the bottle),
a 2 min video where a foot and a body can be
seen trying to enter a bottle. Utopia, drunk again,
waves: Pessimists of the world, unite!
Unsatisfied individuals could not change anything
on their own. |

To use one’s own anxious and feverish tendency
to face the daily swarm of existing acts and
references that are overfed to avoid mediocrity.
Here is a clever means to survive, follow the
red line in a scattered process. “We are more
than one inside”. I therefore invent characters
with diverse voices, physical appearance and
personalities, to serve sound and visual edits.
And then sleep. Vh. |
