David Douard

The work of David Douard can be seen as a reconfiguration of elements collected from a chaotic landscape. This landscape can be both material and digital, as a great deal of the artist’s source material is found on the internet, especially fragments of text that are incorporated into his sculptures, collages and installations. The chaos present within these dense environments gains form when assembled into clear structures, individual parts of the work acting as representations of their places of origin. Douard works with late capitalist excess and transforms the most contemporary forms of the over-produced into something akin to poetry.
