They are without experience; they are nothing more than the instant itself of the image. Each image shows an ahempt to understand their body within the framework of their acdvides. It’s a serious type of play, one that leaves its marks, just how a first dme experience leaves us with its traces.For me, nature is all that is not created by humans, and of which the human is part. She is for the most part mysterious, despite the ogen-­‐devastadng effects of human nature. And there is the dilemma: we are prodigal children, thrown into an ever-­‐spinning evoludon, plunged promptly into this awareness at the same dme delighmul and terrifying, faced with a mortality barely covered by the rhythm of our day-­‐to-­‐day life.”Simon Pasieka, born in Basse-­‐Rhénanie in 1967, is a German ardst who has lived and worked in Paris for more than 10 years. Galerie Eric Mircher presented a personal exhibidon for Pasieka in September 2011.His drawings and paindngs are part of renowned collecdons in Germany as well as in France, notably those of the Museum Friedrich Burda of Baden-­‐baden, the Deutsche Bank of Frankfort, the Staatliche Museum in Berlin, the Germanisches Nadonal Museum in Nuremberg, as well as the Guerlain Foundadon in France and the Frisseras Museum in Greece (Personal Exhibidon to come in 2014).
