Galerie National du Jeu de Paume is hosting a retrospective of the work by the Columbian artist Oscar Muñoz. His works blur the boundaries between photography, printmaking, drawing, installation, video and sculpture. Through his innovative processes such as printing charcoal pigment on water and silkscreen(ed) charcoal dust on methacrylate he creates unstable images that oscillate between presence and absence. "Narcissi in process" illustrated above, is a set of self - portraits printed in charcoal pigment on water in shallow vitrines lined with paper. The water slowly evaporates during the course of the exhibition, eventually allowing the pigment to settle onto the paper in a slightly altered version of the original portrait image.
