In his quantum, Jean-François D'Or tells us about apeirophobia, this thrill of infinity that refers to the finitude of the human being in the face of the immensity of the cosmos. As much vertigo in the face of our own insignificance, he teases absurdity and juggles between wonder and derision.
EN
These are the reflections of his mental universe that he makes us discover in his texts, concerts and performances.Suspended moments, outside of time, he lends himself to unexpected interpretations and experiences and reveals his neuronal beauty spots. As he says, he has ants in his cortex that he seeks to feed with experiences, with stories. No doubt through imprudence, through insomnia, through contradiction. To hope to get the small space of a smile, to try to awaken this indecent thrill of being moved.

It is true that a designer rubbing shoulders with antimatter is disturbing. If we know the accuracy and poetry of his design, Jean-François D'Or orbits with other disciplines. He summons multiple objects and exploits them in an unusual way, revealing and popularizing certain physical phenomena. He immerses us in a mixture of genres, between musical approach, metaphysics, moody mood, reformulated pataphysics, poetic quantum and other p(r)oses.
Installation, video, piano, guitar, text and performance.

It all started when, as a little boy, I peeled my first mandarin orange. My tiny fingers had a hard time piercing this thick peel. Delicately, I had to undress this citrus fruit, taking great care to keep only one piece in my hand. Patient but determined, I succeeded and, with a sure gesture, flattened this skin on the table. I was certain that I had invented geography.
