Driving, walking, observing, contemplating, meandering, scratching, extracting, displacing, transforming, collecting, suspending, revealing...

My work results from many journeys by car, bike and foot in banal spaces. In these spaces I photograph the ambiance, gather potentially interesting details, collect objects for material use in the studio and create installations in-situ. The resulting photos, details and objects form and inform my art work and relate to one another cumula-tively. I work with the objects through a process of urban-archeological exploration: partially extracting the stratifications of material and dust which exist as evidence of time; considering their history and their meaning; changing their context to reveal other forms and meanings; manipulating the surface and the structure; making inter-ventions and inventions.

Extrait du texte «Ethos de l’utilitaire» de Paul Bernard commissaire d’exposition au MAMCO consacré à l’exposition Dans mon Jumpy 1.9 L TD à Brest en Juin 2014

«Dans le rapport qu’ils entretiennent à leur environnement, on pourrait grossiè-rement distinguer deux catégories chez les artistes de ces quarante dernières années. Il y a d’un côté les routiers du désert, les bruleurs d’asphalte. On en trouve une belle illustration dans un calendrier réalisé en 1969 par l’artiste californien Joe Goode et intitulé « L.A artists in their cars » : Ed Ruscha, Larry Bell, John McCracken et autres y posent au volant de grosses cylindrées. Le monde se cadre par le pare-brise et les rétroviseurs ; l’habitacle de l’automobile se fait prolongement de l’atelier. D’un autre coté, il y a les « herboriseurs de bitume », les marcheurs invétérés des grandes mégalopoles : Francis Alys, Gabriel Orozco, Stanley Brouwn ou On Kawara. De flâneries en dérives situationnistes, la marche se conçoit comme épreuve de la ville par le temps. L’attention de ces artistes est entière pour les détails, traces, écarts. Ce qui se passe sous nos pieds prime sur ce qui a lieu devant nous. En titrant son exposition Dans mon Jumpy 1.9, Stéfan Tulépo semble tenter une chimère de ces deux approches. En effet le Citroën Jumpy est un utilitaire, un véhicule entre l’automobile et la camionnette qui se destine généralement au voyage de proximité. Une voiture de facteur, de plombier ou d’électricien que l’on croise davantage au feu rouge que sur une aire d’autoroute. Derrière le volant de son Jumpy, l’artiste tient autant du chauffeur que du marcheur, comme une espèce de centaure, à la fois sur ses deux pieds et sur quatre roues. Un mode d’appréhension privilégié pour une archéologie poétique du terrain offert par la résidence : Brest et ses alentours, un bout du monde hybride qui compose avec l’urbain et le rural, entre « modernité et régionalisme » pour reprendre le titre d’un livre d’architecture fameux sur la Bretagne. Autre intérêt évident de l’utilitaire, il permet d’avoir là, sous la main, tout de suite, les outils nécessaires à une intervention sur place, ou, dans le sens contraire, de saisir et ramener dans l’atelier. Le temps de sa résidence, l’artiste a photographié puis indexé ses photogra-phies ; prélevé puis intervenu sur ce qu’il prélève ; intervenu sur place et photographié son intervention. C’est toute une logique du déplacement qui anime l’œuvre dans un va-et-vient permanent entre dehors et dedans, terrain et atelier. Un irrespect tranquille des frontières qui caractérise également une manière de faire de la photographie comme un sculpteur, de la sculpture comme un dessinateur, du dessin comme un performeur et finalement de la perfor-mance comme un photographe. Porosité des espaces et des pratiques, transfert de qualité entre image, geste et volume, latence d’un devenir, et finalement métamorphose : il y a dans tout cela quelque chose de baroque. Mais d’un baroque de délaissés, invisible et que l’artiste s’emploie à révéler. C’est peut-être la leçon du Jumpy-centaure : déterritorialisés et à peine trafiqués, les formes les plus banales, les matériaux les plus quelconques, les zones urbaines les plus insignifiantes excèdent ce qu’elles sont pour acquérir, ne serait-ce que provisoirement, une puissance esthétique insoupçonnée.»
