"The relationship to the screen is omnipresent. All the images I choose can be projected onto a simple white wall, but depending on the nature of the projects, I experiment with what the projection surface can crystallize or reveal in the image. For the Octopus Garden, the wall was prepared with mica powder, a shiny mineral medium, to achieve an interpenetration between the image and the wall. The projected images having already been altered, cut out and then dipped in coloured inks, the gestures made on the image and its projection surface end up coming together. For the Nocturnes series, for example, when I have a print made on silk that is sewn into the back of a jacket, it is a question of making an image travel. I was interested in finding it on an object that you might wonder if it is part of the exhibition, but after all, it is still a screen worn on the back. The silk that causes the light to bend according to the wearer's movements and the appearance of a luminous crescent in the image contribute to this, but in a way that I can no longer control..."
