série de vidéos

La série de cinq vidéos est términé. La dernière vidéo empreinte des phrases de la poésie de Ghérasim Luca. La mise en distance de la langue mais aussi bien du sens dans ses poèmes, coinçide étrangement à la définition que je cherche à donner aux relations humaines. Ce parallélisme est recherché dans ce dernier travail.

"Under my bed" : philosophy

The videos and photos involve symbolic forms of understanding. Pending questions about human relationships, secrets or things we don't want to remember appear like metaphoric gestures or words. 

Last day of work

Under my bed : working photos

Under my bed : shootings

Under my bed : moments

Under my bed project

This project is about personnal secrets and fears. Videos and photos are metaphors about human relations. The French Institute of Thessaloniki in Greece help us realise the shootings. This is some stuff of the second day of work.

videos you can "touch"...

As my videos are easy to see (vimeo, exhibitions...) I made some "boxes" so one can have. I put a serie of photos of the video concerned, 2 DVDs, a documentation about the concept, and a piece of wool yarn,( the one you see in the video). The "packaging" is complete with a bag with a special print on it. I hope you like it.

wearable art made from baking paper....

My studio work is based on no commitment to work with the same materials. As part of my research on femininity, I discovered the silicone and paper. With these materials I have created works with some transparency. The reasons which lead me to use these materials are multiple: from the first time I started working with these mediums, I enjoyed the properties of these fragile materials. They combine the sensitivity and the ephemeral. They have a delicate appearance, bright, soft and ethereal. I think the silicone and paper as a platform and foundation that supports the aesthetic concepts of "female".

petite réflexion sur le tracé...

Dans le travail du dessin, les personnages et les objets ont une pointe surréaliste. Femmes teratomorphes se mêlent avec d'autres créatures. Je pourrais dire « ceci n'est pas une femme » pour La femme maison. En effet, l'allégorie du dessin permettrait de mieux comprendre le sens grâce à la phrase de Magritte. Et pourtant, c'est bien la représentation d'une femme. 

eaux fortes

A l'occasion de ma résidence à l'Ecole d'art de Thessalonique, j'ai réalisé une série d'eaux fortes, parfois mixant les techniques... Voici quelques unes.
