“DONATIEN” G. QUARTIERI
POBSESSION FUTURE TIME // The Artistic Philosophy of DONATIEN
The artistic practice of Donatien — spanning from phygital canvas to avant-garde live performance — acts as a radical rebellion against the ultimate constraint of human existence: time itself. Through the conceptual manifesto Pobsession Future Time, the artist explores the obsession and possession of the "time demon," the invisible force that constantly weighs upon and erodes human life.
Liberation from this linear cage is achieved through a chronological paradox. Upon the digital canvas and the physical bodies used during his performances, Donatien explicitly paints dynamic future dates (such as his milestone birthday in the year 2045). By projecting the creative act into a distant future where the author will no longer exist, the artist completely neutralizes the pressure of the present. This gives rise to a relative timeline: a future that cannot restrict us, a suspended present, and a past that is entirely erased, only fulfillment the single day after the painted date. By surrendering to the "demon of Art," Donatien expands creation beyond biological limits, turning mortal anxiety into an eternal, untouchable asset.
Limited Phygital Edition of 7 (Numbered and Certified via NFC/Blockchain)
POBSESSION FUTURE TIME" explores the paradox of mortality, legacy, and chronological control. The date painted boldly across the body—28.03.2045—marks the artist's birthday in a near future. This exact focal point births the Pobsession of time, stretching existence into a distant horizon where the artist may no longer exist. Yet, because this future chronological space does not yet belong to the present self, the artist remains untouched by its weight. The anxiety of passing time is detached, intellectualized, and ultimately conquered. The Pobsession is not suffered; it is completely dominated.
A striking, deeply philosophical phygital art print blending gothic architecture, avant-garde body art, and existential sovereignty.
