The Fall

The Fall is a series of painting based on the poem “Pull My Daisy” co-written by the Beatniks, Allan Ginsberg. Jack Kerouac and Neal Cassady in the form of an exquisite corpse. Each painting illustrates a verse of the poem through the lens of architectural elements and design. The question of rhythm and interruption is central to both the text and its transcription into images. Close-ups of interiors, saturated with regular patterns are disrupted by evocative elements. Referring to the philosophy of the Beat Generation, its search for a rupture with a conformist society and a time stifled by restrictions, through the satisfaction of immediate desires and impulses.
