Christian Xatrec's Fifteen-Year Exploration of Signs and Antimatter
Christian Xatrec has spent fifteen years developing a body of work that merges conceptual art with concrete poetry, operating outside mainstream contemporary trends. His practice delves into the foundations of signs, extracting layers of meaning from these quarries for interpretation. In the piece "Point de croix," a cross is stitched onto a support using cross-stitch technique, poetically realizing the artist's scientific dream of antimatter.
