Xavier VEILHAN Quote: "They (Daft Punk) proposed a sculpture that would be like the photographs of them that don't exist. Sculpture is almost a throwback to the Middle Ages, when the only way to be represented was by sculpture or painting. I was very interested in this - it was both and connected to history. - Xavier Veilhan Since the late 1980s, Xavier Veilhan has been developing a multi-faceted approach (sculpture, painting, environment, performance, video, photo) that blends formal classicism with high technology. His works question our perception and cultivate an interest in spaces of wandering, often evolving, in which the visitor becomes an actor. When Xavier Veilhan persuaded Daft Punk to pose for him, the duo, who always appear masked, exceptionally dropped their helmets in favor of a simple pair of sunglasses. Veilhan's statue is a birch plywood sculpture, slightly smaller than the real thing, by Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo and Thomas Bangalter, standing, hands in pockets, faces hidden behind simple sunglasses. This is the first physical representation of Daft Punk without their famous robot helmets. "They proposed a sculpture that would be like the photographs of them that don't exist...".
