Etranges Exhibitions 2002 Benjamin Beaulieu Hot ✮

Essai : « Étranges exhibitions (2002) — Benjamin Beaulieu : chaleur et dévoilement »

En 2002, Benjamin Beaulieu propose dans Étranges exhibitions une exploration paradoxale du visible et de l’intime, où la chaleur — tant physique que métaphorique — devient fil conducteur d’un art de la révélation. L’ouvrage (ou la série d’œuvres — ici j’assume qu’il s’agit d’une série performative et visuelle) joue sur la tension entre attraction et malaise : la chaleur attire, fond les défenses, mais révèle aussi des surfaces insoupçonnées, des textures psychiques que le froid du regard rationnel préfère ignorer.

Performance Piece: Transpiration № 4 (duration: 2 hours, repeated 3 nights). Beaulieu sat motionless on a wooden chair under a single, powerful heat lamp. He was dressed in a 1970s-style polyester suit. Over the performance, he began to sweat profusely. On a small table beside him were unexposed Polaroid films. He would wipe his brow with his bare hand, then press his damp palm onto the film, activating the chemicals with his own body heat and moisture. The resulting abstract, reddish-brown images were handed to audience members. Critics described the act as “hot in both temperature and erotic tension.” etranges exhibitions 2002 benjamin beaulieu hot
