Description
Yes_non is an inkjet print on paper of the artist’s hands holding the words “yes” and “non” connected and constructed from a single fine black wire.
Statement
Yes_Non is one of a series of three images of hands holding texts (the others are Stay Go and Tout_Rien). The texts are all opposites, but the uniform visual treatment and, in this work, the string connecting the words suggests that these binary situations are not always easily divided along clean lines. It also refers to the Québec separation referendum in 1995.
