Through hundreds of film and digital photos, video captures
and drawings, Guten Tag bears witness to a selection of Vandal inscriptions
made between 2019 and 2023 by Pablo Tomek, in Paris and elsewhere. The memories
of these voluntary degradations are extended by a series of poems by Skubb.
Scribbles for some, calligraphic feats for others, the
Tomek's signatures flirt with illegibility, in an unstable balance
between inscription, figuration and abstraction. His tags become
mosquitoes, boats, corals, they crush, expand, flatten or
They are grandiloquent, fearful, advance or retreat, depending on
the state of the scribe, his mental images, his tools or even the nature of his
support and its fulcrum.
