a face or an image we instantly know,
but French artist Julien de Casabianca, takes a different look at many works that we would never see or even remember,
the majority of faces either nameless or not burned into
memory, men, women, and children immortalized by brush stroke but forgotten by
time,
for the last few years by placing recreations of the unknown
on urban street corners and abandoned buildings as a part of his Outings Project, since its inception the project has gone global, Oslo, Geneva, and
Warsaw a new addition to the project at the top of this post in Jacksonville, FL
stands two-stories tall, a young girl in a bonnet peering away from the viewer
and into the boarded-up brick wall on which she is placed, most of the works however are characters hiding behind drooped plants or crouched on the
ground at knee-level, De Casabianca will show his own work in Belgium next year at
the Musée d’Ixelles from March 5th to April 10th, more of de Casabianca’s
pieces can be found on his online gallery, what a great way to remember 'the forgotten'.
