Lives and works in Marseilles
His proposal for Volta Basel 2010 is designed as a rebuilding of a founder work, Everything I stole from you, a collection of stolen objects, created in the 90's.
This collection - shown at the FIAC in 1994, then in his studio in 1995 – has been seized by the police during an exhibition at the MAC (Museum of Contemporary Art Marseille) in 1996. Six objects were returned to their owners, the other 36 disappeared forever.
Ten years later, Herve Paraponaris starts a reappropriation of this event, up from the memories of the vanished work. Further Replica (recidivist replica) is a project under construction, based on reproductions and transformations of the original collection, a project that illustrates the multifaceted relationships between traditional forms and conceptual art and his work.
