« Since the beginning of 2000, Serge Le Squer has investigated the representation of the work as the paradigm of the public space. He photographs, films, registers the signs of the working class,producing a social and urban cartography. In 2003, Builders ,film shot in Beirut,gives short sequences in the course of which workers leave their worker identity behind to become the actor of his own fiction.
In 2006, thought the use of walkie-talkie scanner in the Goutte d'Or district (Paris), the sound work Where are you Henri Jean-Pierre ? reveals a parallel sound landscape, a zone of delocalized listening. This desire to place the artist physically in front of his subject, to give responsibilities to him, is always accompagnied by a preoccupation with discretion.
Here, the work of art will soberly try to connect scattered elements, proceeding toward a permanent assembly work. Taking reality as a point of departure and refusing mere subjectivity, Serge Le Squer immerses us in a documented story.
For Table d’hôtes, the artist chose to pursue a collection work begun one year ago on the subject of website on strike and web page about online strike, in which the momentary lock-out indicated by the webpage is revealing of a crisis, a space of media to be reflected.
