Description
To round off his residency in Besançon, Ampparito took the time to answer a few questions from Kristina Bohres (MZM Projects) about his work and current projects. For this interview, the Spanish artist put himself in a staggering position… Echoing the mythical scene from the film La Haine, Ampparito wanted to recreate this falling scene, during which the character repeats “so far so good” – an uncomfortable, unsettling and still relevant position.
