matali crasset invites Pierre La Police to explore the multiple relationships that humans have with their natural habitat. He responds with humor by presenting a series of original drawings on flags fixed to tall poles. A visible signal in the city, this surprising proposition, where human and nature merge in the realm of the absurd, fondly and ironically underlines the awkwardness of contemporary life.

As soon as matali explained the themes and form of the invitation, I went back to my studio and started sketching this series of images while the iron was still hot. From the outset, my idea was to present quite colorful, instantly readable images that weave links between the different meanings given to the notion of culture.
When I combine texts and drawings, it is to introduce discrepancies in the expression of themes or in the narrative structure so as to make the edifice of meaning teeter and to shift the limits of the usual frameworks. In this instance, it's using flags, and I emphasized the emblematic aspect of the drawing without resorting to text.
