Burned t-shirt bearing the inscription "High Hopes," presented with metal hanger. The work reactivates the Amityville legend: in 1974, a sextuple murder transforms a house into a symbol of curse, popularized by Jay Anson's book (1977) and numerous films. The t-shirt, everyday object, becomes relic charged with a history that exceeds its support. Partial burning embodies tension between presence and absence, hope and disillusion. "Dépouille" explores the perpetuation of traumatic narrative through image and memory, questioning how certain stories survive their own destruction to become contemporary mythology.
