Description
In a relationship with the world that pays close attention to temporality, space and presence, my visual arts practice probes and explores the sensitive matter concealed in ordinary everyday life, that infra-ordinary weave that acts on our perception of the visible and the invisible, the infinitesimal and the poetic sign, presence and absence, appearance and disappearance. According to the French writer Georges Perec, the infra-ordinary is an anthropology of the everyday, the banal, the obvious, highlighting the endotic rather than the exotic. It’s a relationship to the world intrinsically linked to an awareness of detail and fragment, with the aim of making them visible and meaningful.
Using objects as metaphors, as signs of a dialogue, I develop protean installations (objects, photographic, sculptural and kinetic elements) and in situ or in socius interventions that tend, through an encounter between formal and symbolic elements, to provoke a re-enchantment of everyday life. Favoring the installation medium for its immersive character, but also to highlight a certain indeterminacy of form leading to an opening-up of meaning, I deploy bodies of objects, cobbled-together universes that are both refined and rigorous, entering into a relationship with the space and the public.I work with delicacy and meticulousness, to magnify the fragility and precariousness of materials and objects. I construct fragmented narratives, halfway between poetry, archaeology and narrative drift.
My research maintains a close relationship with territory and displacement, often unfolding in the field through collections and encounters. I’m interested in the process of making and the conditions of emergence of the work, as well as in finds, remnants and traces. Serendipity – that is, finding rather than searching, and using what you find to create – guides my research and leads me to develop an acuity for the poetic potential of the everyday.
