Andre Komatsu
The work of André Komatsu distills the experience of a man who goes around the city, picks up its debris, and constructs new functions for these objects that have been doomed to obscurity, waste, rubble, and ruin. The result takes the form of installations, objects, or delicate drawings on pieces of concrete. The book follows Andre Komatsu’s career chronologically. The selected works are organized into themes in order to lay bare the conceptual interrelations between formally distinct works, or else the nuances and differences between works addressing related themes. In fact, although Komatsu’s “style” is quite marked, the coherence of his body of work comes primarily from its social matrix. Discourses about power and more or less latent social conflicts are essentially what constitute the raw material for his sculptures and installations.
