Palingénésie
At the time limits of space, worn, discolored objects speak, fill the void that beings have left, gestures that have become timeless are accomplished in a perpetual ritual. Memories organize themselves, intertwine, multiply, plunge deep into beings, places resonate with noises, cries, footsteps, habits, bear the imprint of those who have crossed them, accomplished, too quickly, without knowing.
For a moment life resumes.
Madly in love with the arts in the broad sense, greedy for words, stories, eager for
esthetic experiences, passionate about theater, writing, full-time professor of letters, photographer-poet in my spare time, human being forever, Woman above all.
For me, photography is the medium that allows me to get down to the essence of things, a three-step frenzied waltz in which scenography, esthetics and text all come together to create a powerful message.
Driven by a desire to delve deep into the possible, i see the photo as responding to a
need to go straight to the soul, with all its diversity of approaches, a way of looking at
the body as a sculptured tool, a fragment of a human being, as a dreamlike narration,
pictorial reality, the shots linked but not all alike, a perpetual exploration of the
possible, malleable according to my desires, giving rise to sensation, to hyper-,
hypersensitivity.

entry description
The Palingénésie project speaks of an interrupted story, a story that could not be fulfilled. A story that our memory has stored in the form of snippets, stored in the drawers of the past.At the time limits of space, worn, discolored objects speak, fill the void that beings have left, gestures that have become timeless are accomplished in a perpetual ritual. Memories organize themselves, intertwine, multiply, plunge deep into beings, places resonate with noises, cries, footsteps, habits, bear the imprint of those who have crossed them, accomplished, too quickly, without knowing.
For a moment life resumes.
