This work by Jimmy Delatour reveals a hybrid temporality — at once ancient, present, and imaginary. Jacques-Louis David’s portrait of Madame Récamier is digitally reworked by hand to incorporate the Pompeii-x méridienne designed by the artist. The photograph is printed on canvas and hand-varnished with a translucent medium, giving it the appearance of a true painting. The stained and varnished chestnut frame was custom designed and crafted. Through this process of transformation, Jimmy Delatour dissolves the boundary between history and contemporary creation, inventing the fictional relic of a world in suspension. In doing so, he also questions the memory of forms, the fragility of civilizations, and the narratives we choose to pass on.
