past lives lived
In revisiting the film The Gleaners and I, I discovered that there is mention of an interesting artist Louis Pons. I have not been able to find much about him, other than he collects junk and creates beautiful collages out of them, and that he is from France.
If anyone does know or come across anything on him, please let me know.
I love his displays of collections of junk:
They remind me alot alot alot of Louise Nevelson who made similar collages of junk. Here is her piece, eerily similar:
and another:
the idea that I love about both of these artists and their philosophies is the notion that all of these objects that they collect, junk they turn into art, was someone elses before, has lived another life, has another history.
that’s a lovely idea.
