This image is a tribute to Clément Cadou, a French young man who once had the idea of becoming a writer. Until one night when his parents invited to have dinner to their house Witold Gombrowicz.  Clément was so astonished that he hardly said a word, and felt like a piece of furniture. So he started painting furniture and quit writing.  Always the same piece of furniture and always his paintings were named “self-portrait”. The story is in Bartleby & Co. by Enrique Vila-Matas.

The idea of this image is to get a piece of furniture as if it were seen from a scanner. We can see what is inside and colors are unreal. It is my first image of a project called “Ren de Testa”.

Esta imaxe é un tributo a Clément Cadou, un mozo francés que quería ser escritor. Os seus pais animábano e unha noite como sorpresa convidaron a cear a casa ao famoso escritor Witold Gombrowicz. Clément quedouse tan abraiado que apenas pronunciou palabra e sentiuse como un moble. Así que empezou a pintar mobles e deixou de escribir. Sempre pintaba o mesmo moble e sempre co mesmo título ” autorretrato”. Esta historia aparece no libro Bartleby & Co. de Enrique Vila-Matas.

A imaxe representa un moble como se vería cun escaner de obxectos. Podemos ver o seu interior e as cores non son reais. É a primeira peza do proxecto “Ren de Testa”.
