Through the silkscreen prints or drawings he pastes on city walls, Ernest Pignon-Ernest highlights what can be seen there as well as what can no longer be seen. To provoke thought and memory, he quotes El Greco as well as Caravaggio, Luca Giordano as well as Rubens or Ingres. These quotes are details from their works that he recovers or "corrects", that he "translates" so that, on this or that facade, they find the place that should be theirs. Ernest Pignon-Ernest's drawings open parentheses in the walls so that consciousness can awaken.
