Michel JOURNIAC: Le Vierge Mère. 1982-83.
Photos of the action. Relics.
Each photo: 24×17.7 cm (except 2: 24×16.5), mounted on a heavy white paper leaf: 32×24 cm.
This work was specially conceived and realized by Journiac in homage to the Centre National d’Art Contemporain de Nice, France, as reads the artist’s handwritten presentation text.
Handwritten presentation text:
“This formulation, unique, of the action: Le Vierge Mère (The Virgin Mother) in testimony of friendship, with all of those who collaborate with passion, to the edification of this Centre National d’Art Contemporain in Nice. 31st of August, 1983, Villa Arson, Nice (F), Michel Journiac”.
In this action, Michel Journiac, appears dressed as a virgin mother, then executes, still entirely dressed in white, the different stages of a delivery. The baby is a bloody cloth puppet.
