"Prosôpon" est une série de masques en plâtre acrylique directement tirées d’emballages blister de produits manufacturés a priori sans intérêt. Ces sculptures n’ont nécessité aucune intervention autre de l’artiste que la fabrication d’un moule qui révèle leur qualités anthropomorphiques.


Issu du théâtre grec, ce terme signifie à l’origine aussi bien "visage" que "masque", l’étymologie soulignant l’idée de face où se trouve l’organe de la vue et d’apparence externe de choses inanimées.


Si l’intention initiale d’Angélique vise à s’interroger sur l’esthétique des produits d’emballage, sa démarche ne manque pas de faire écho au ready-made et à l’esprit Dada. Ces idoles offrent de multiples niveaux de lecture ; ils sont survivance du caractère magique de l’art, interrogation sur nos modes de consommation et incertitude sur notre devenir à l’ère de la robotisation.


"Prosôpon" is a series of acrylic plaster masks, directly derived from blister packagings that have no interest a priori. These sculptures required no other intervention from the artist than the production of a mold that reveals their anthropomorphic qualities.


From the Greek theater, this term originally means both "face" and "mask", the etymology emphasizing the idea of face where is the organ of sight and external appearance of inanimate things.


If Angelique's initial intention is to question the aesthetics of packaging, her approach also echoes Readymades and the Dada spirit. These idols offer multiple levels of reading; they are survivals of the magical nature of art, questionings on our consumption patterns and uncertainties about our future in the era of robotization.
