Often, She talks about dreams. Associations of pictures which have their origin secretly embedded somewhere else.
A gallery of characters comes out of a disturbing world, creates a kind of personal and singular mythologie, giving those figures a chance to develop their own symbolism.
I remember a sentence: ‘Mathilde et la chambre bleue’ (’Mathilde and the blue bedroom’)
At first, there are the writings which seem, afterwards, to open up and take shape.
The images and situations–detached from the original texts–stop the time-line for a while, assume their autonomy and drag us along parallel fictions.
Everything is about impression.
A way to make normal things unusual and to maintain this hesitation which persists after the first blink, when sleep withdraws, when perception is still a bit blurry, before everything takes its place again.
Still, the track of a parallel life that we took part in remains, maybe…
‘Mathilde’; everything starts with a first name, nothing more, as if a perfect stranger suddenly enters the room… It seems that she is not here just by chance, but we maybe won’t know more…
