In doing so, the artist considers objects through the deconstruction of their functionality and of their dependence on human presence. Machines that were initially man-made prostheses find themselves symbolically impersonating and caricaturing their creator or mimicking physical situations. Thus personified and endowed with a strange energy, objects become absurd and counter-productive machines.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Johan Parent\u2019s work also addresses the spaces we live in by using these reappropriated and dysfunctional objects to produce a disturbing atmosphere.<\/em><br><em>By deliberately saturating or blurring the visual and acoustic properties of a space and orchestrating compulsive mechanisms in closed circuits, the artist creates self-sufficient devices that embody symptoms of our times (anxiety, breakdowns, discordant senses\u2026).
