Imprint (Empreinte)
France, 2021, 6min
Single-channel video installation, stereo sound
Comissioned for Idéale art brut at LaM Lille Métropole Musée d’art modern, d’art contemporain et d’art brut.
“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
