“I am not interested in what potholes and cobblestones tell us historically or sociologically. What interests me is how the past manifests itself in the current form of modern cities. I am particularly interested in the potholes because they physically contain successive periods of time in only one phenomenon. I represent signs of urban erosion through my artworks because I believe cities have become our natural habitat, with its own natural cycles and sedimentary rhythm. Furthermore, my artworks highlight the interstice in an attempt to give this “non-space” a status as object in itself.” – Alexis Dahan
