"Hurry up to exist" by Sean Hart

“This is the first draft of a work I created again in July 2011, in the bedroom of an old abandoned shack in a Parisian suburb, this time writing Hurry up to exist or hurry up to die in a loop running all the way around the room, thereby rendering it more visually interesting and helping it to resonate better with the actual meaning of the words.

Artist biography:
Born in France in 1981, Sean Hart has been voluntarily homeless for the past 3 years: a street artist who travels and works without authorisation – but also without concealing his name or his face – in towns throughout the world. He sees his work as a set of poetic messages encompassing various different series of work and covering a wide range of different media: painting, photography, video, sculpture, installation, performance art and short films. Each work represents fragmented pages of an intimate diary – a travel journal formulated as a cocktail of challenging poetic images.
