Blue Pants operates as a distilled vocabulary of embodied minimalism, using a simple, recurring element —bright blue trousers— to activate an evolving identity code across multiple geographies. The work unfolds between 2014 and 2019 through ephemeral performances and photographic documentation in sites ranging from urban interiors to natural deserts, establishing a mobile sculptural grammar. By placing the artist’s body consistently within varying contexts, always wearing the titular garment, the project becomes a modular exploration of presence, place and authorship. Without relying on textual explanation, the repetition of form and posture generates a symbolic infrastructure that is at once personal and transferable. In works like Dark Blue Pants II and Jungle Hardangen, the gesture is refined to a minimalist tableau: the outstretched arm, the standing body, the vibrant blue. These configurations subtly invoke traditions of conceptual art, land art, and performance, while inserting affective registers linked to displacement and self-representation. Here, clothing becomes object-sign, the body becomes sculpture, and the landscape becomes frame. Blue Pants functions as an open protocol —not a statement, but a presence— where the lack of verbal mediation enhances its visual authority and leaves interpretation in the hands of the viewer.
