MAG WORKS IN INDIA SINCE 1999 MAG Michel can be associated to the Junk Art Movement . Fragmentation and Distorsion can be indentified in a different way . By using vehicles parts, discarded material, squashed or folded steel, MAG produces a serial work based on the observation of our violent environmental decadence. These fragmentations represent MAG’s new powerful sculptures. He magnifies everyday elements but icon ones to raise issues about the recycling. He describes his work as ‘a poetic-ethnic urban junk celebration!’ My approach of artistic creation is independent and self-taught, My "distortions" become the spokespersons of my critical eye on society. While working way I refuse to accept atypical eti Quet-post-industrial, neo-new-conceptual realist I prefer that my work is considered "social default"! My work is engaged and shows a certain point of view of Indian culture in the global world. I work with icons of this culture and trying to show their place in globalization (rickshaw, Ambassador, sacred cows).

I put on the stage of the symbols of consumption and problematic contemporary social (Mother India-Social Distortion). Our lives, our social actions are henceforth defined by models of consumption (single uniform soon). Sometimes I feel like I live in this existential vacuum, then I fill the dizziness. I often have difficulty in understanding the value of collective codes with which we communicate, I think my work fall outside a logical, although I develop theories in their creations, knowing that their truths owe nothing to intellectualism. I have not mastered correctly my imagination, it is obviously congested with all sorts of contradiction often symbolic. My creative intensity lies in the fact of collection, recycling, assembling, a manifier rebur, aestheticize a rest ... poeticize Handle waste, surplus is a bit like acting in a primitive world (at the age of stone ) or into the skin of an urban archaeologist. While the ideas are worked out, but they are most often the result of encounters with materials, opportunities that present themselves during a search (field, snack, street, decheterrie). I do not want to lock me in a format, in a medium, I have neither knowledge nor proceed. I manipulate, alter and be urgent.

By elevating ordinary objects to the status of art, he challenges ideas about what constitutes art.
