In this performance at Paris Orly Airport, Andros Dresamore i poses in front of a signage wall, where the male silhouette appears in miniature, relegated to a discreet margin next to the woman in the dress. The real body perfectly fits the shape of the pictogram: the artist becomes a universal, standardized, annexed man.

But unlike the binary and directive logic of airport graphic design, here the artist doesn't move, doesn't go to the bathroom, doesn't indicate anything. He waits, he embodies himself, he takes the place given to him, without claiming anything—and that's precisely what's disturbing.

It is an act of disappearance in visual language, an ironic submission to signage, a chosen erasure in functional anonymity.

Without saying a word, he questions universal visual language, gender norms, the use of bodies in public spaces... but also the way in which places of transit treat humans: reduced to a form, a direction, a need.

Andros has a capacity to make visible what we no longer see. He restores an agonizing humanity to pictograms.

​

The work questions the norm with chilling neutrality. Where others chant slogans, Andros lines up against a wall. And it's a dull violence.
