Love to death! There’s this wooden shoe box with a pair of Demonia V-CREEPER-516 with a black glass sole (Amor e Morte II). It is not an object of temptation, a new pair of Boolenciaga, it is an epitaph! A parallelepiped where gothic scrolls have replaced the words. One thinks of a funeral oration by Marc Almond, or the Italian romantic opera composer Gaetano Donizetti. There are pink LEDs, it’s as if she’s taken to the water after a romantic breakup in a Rimini club. More prosaically, they’re shoes that Thomas ordered on the internet that were mistakenly the wrong size. In an exhibition nothing is lost and Thomas Liu Le Lann also makes art with Amazon prime insolence. Six-Feet-Under art that can be transported in less than 24 hours, the time to console oneself for one’s last love. Aesthetics of the graveyard, of tears and the freeport.
