Jean-Claude MILLET's mastery of combinatorial techniques enables him to approach many disciplines from a creative angle. He has experimented with what he calls lexical genetics. He created the word "Liberté-Égalité-Fraternité" in the form of a performance.
In his lexical research, Jean-Claude MILLET has given the dash of Jesus Christ an essential role. It represents the mystery of the passage from the dimension of man to the dimension of Man. It is the equivalent of the space between Adam's fingers and God's fingers on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel.
In the first proposal, the perspective of Man leaves aside the question of God, for if God is imposed, this calls into question both the possibility of God and the possibility of Man, for the Universal cannot do without the Universal.
Since the nineteenth century, the motto of the French Republic has been Liberté, Égalité, Fraternité.
Jean-Claude MILLET perceived the hiatus represented in the preamble to the US Constitution by the claim to liberty without reference to its two sisters, equality and fraternity.
The Empire's use of Liberty is brandished as an ideological weapon.
As an artist and technologist, Jean-Claude MILLET wants to make it clear that Liberty is a delusion if it is not shared, and if its use is not measured.
For the biennial, he is following in the footsteps of curator Alexia Fabre, by planning a performance in the form of a request to the Académie française to create the word Liberté-Égalité-Fraternité.
