GAME OVER
A few weeks ago I was introduced to this very cool artist Martin Beauregard, who told me about one his works, titled “Game Over.” Martin was kind enough to send over some photos and a description.

This work turns around the idea of a materialization of a video game and its impossibility of working in reality.
Cross the medium of visual art and stuntman, I experimented the particularity of the button “Jump” in the video game with the physical problem on attraction in reality.
Costume and sculpture build with scotch tape, glue, velcro and paper, inspired by the form of sport uniform and “Pokemon.” Slept on the ground and stick, I try and to stand up but the velcro resist. After a few moment I succeed to stand up, I take a bike, pedal ahead on a line, take a ramp, jump and stick on the wall. Game Over
