Jacques Villeglé and the art of taking off lacerated posters
Michel LANCELOT is interested in the Breton artist Jacques MAHE DE LA VILLEGLE, known as "VILLEGLE" who made the recovery of lacerated posters the heart of his artistic approach. In a street in a changing Parisian neighborhood, in the middle of a construction site, the artist shows how he takes these posters with a knife. He says you have to "choose fast, have no mood". He calls it "takeoff": take a part of the world and win. However he finds less and less posters in the capital, especially because the palisades are now very high, "out of reach of the hand of the lacerator". He declares: "The slashed poster is spontaneity, you have to choose quickly, do not have a state of mind"...
