Wallpaper I , 2006

Papier peint composé de grains de beauté (photographiés sur une douzaine de personnes), qui recouvre le mur reliant le rez-de-chaussée et le premier étage de la galerie. La peau est une enveloppe malléable, une surface et une image, c’est la façade qui nous sépare du monde extérieur, créant un espace privé et publique.

Deux vidéos sont projetées simultanément sur deux moniteurs, dévoilant une même épaule. Cette installation questionne les notions d’origine, d’authenticité, de dissimulation par l’usage d’ornements.

Cycle , 2006

Une installation composée de sculptures en plâtre, créées lors de différentes réunions de familles, qui explore les rapports et liens inévitables dans chaque structure familiale et ce besoin que nous ressentons dans notre société de vouloir conserver des traces des moments importants de la vie.
