Michel Blazy’s works emphasize the transient state of all things. They constitute visual metaphors for a world able to multiply itself and grow ad infinitum. Blazy likes the metaphor of the seed: “A seed,” he writes, can remain in a dormant state for an indefinite period of time. The Voyage of Meteorites (1999–2000) is a suspended garden of sorts, which is constantly changing. Processes of growth, development, maturation and decay become the focus of various observations concerning the colors, forms and smells of this work in progress, whose subject is constant transformation.
