Echelon – Listen to What I Saw!!! 

Philippe Orsero, 2006 Mixed media on canvas – 100 x 100 cm / Holographic – 60 x 60 cm This vertiginous work merges geometric structure, coded data, and human representation within a dramatic tension. It references the global surveillance system ECHELON, but twists it into a reversed sensory experience: “Listen to what I saw” — as if vision became testimony, and image, a silent cry. The piece is saturated with signs, symbols, colorful bursts and graphic elements evoking neural circuits. The body becomes an interface — exposed, crossed by memory flows, under surveillance yet carrying a critical gaze. In its holographic version, it expands into space like a sensitive spectrum. Echelon is an alert. It does not accuse; it reveals, it makes audible. Orsero becomes a medium between image, power, and memory — both artist, sensor, and bearer of enhanced lucidity. Global vision of Philippe Orsero’s work His visual universe pivots on tensions: between the sacred and the technological, between body and code, memory and simulation. His work combines painting, photography, digigraphy, digital transfer, video, and even holography. His art reads like a map of the times — not a straight line, but a trail through symbols, mutations, and disruptions. Each painting is a square in a vast aesthetic chessboard where Orsero moves like a “bishop” — diagonally, between visible rules and invisible forces. The artist anticipates, captures, reveals. He builds images like thresholds, surfaces inhabited by poetic and critical tension. He speaks through the silence of the gaze, through matter, through the inner light of images. His work is a fractured mirror of our time — and an invitation to listen to what we see.
