(Trans) Human

Transmission, transfiguration, mutation… The human being is in no way exempt from evolution. François Vautier envisions the individual as a kind of hyphen, a passing entity. He too, within his environment, has been, is, and will be.

Since his existence in primary form, he has never stopped evolving—first physically, becoming something other than the animal he once was, but more importantly, intellectually. Over time, he has pulled away from his instincts to become an individual endowed with thought.

It is this thought, in perpetual motion, that François Vautier captures in his work. For him, beyond the human being—whose physical shell will inevitably decline and transform—a thought will remain. This thought will travel through space and time, absorbing every place it crosses and extending infinitely by growing from them.
