Imprint (Empreinte)
6min, Single-channel video installation, B&W, stereo, 2021, France/Canada
“In Imprint, our gaze discovers what we will never see with the naked eye: the interior of a bone inflicted with cancer. Immersed in a mysterious black and white landscape, generated from high-precision scans carried out by a Bordeaux paleontology laboratory, Imprint questions the power of pathology to challenge our self-perception; as well as the preservative power of the digital image, which is used to digitize what inevitably deteriorates when the image itself is not guaranteed to survive time - underscoring the shared fragility of organic and digital material.”
- Marie-Amélie Senot, curator
Comission for the LaM Lille Métropole Musée d’art modern, d’art contemporain et d’art brut.
