Alexandre Moliéra delved into the theoretical dimension of the theme "From the cinema of the lights of the city." He first turned to theorists, notably Paul Virilio, who stated: "The city was no longer an agora, a living theater, but had become the cinema of the lights of the city." Virilio also explains how artificial lights have profoundly transformed our environment, thus raising the question: "What is reality?"
The artist was also interested in poets, writers, and other artists. In his research, he mentions:
"In the carousels of the City that smile at me…
When the lights cluster together…
I get lost in the made-up streets…"
Another preferred theme for Alexandre Moliéra is that of the interiors of the Second Empire, in red and gold, focused on ornamentation, from a very postmodern perspective. Politics, history, motifs, ornamentation, memory… so many concepts that he explores to enrich his work.
