Exhibition at Galerie L’Artichaut, from February 16 to March 3, 2019

Pauline Chanet makes photocopies of her work. Her archival tool becomes a tool for exploration. It melts and absorbs, leaving only the essential. She digitizes and flattens her soft sculptures, her textile experiments, revealing new facets. She plays with compositions, shapes, and framings as a photographer might.

Like a story we repeat to ourselves, our childhood memories live on endlessly in our minds. They warp, fade, and eventually blend with others. Images blur, merge. Memory plays tricks on us, cutting into the past to extract details and bring them back to life.

The reality we once lived now clings to a strip of silver film—a forever blurred moment. Images overlap like the layers of our memory. The past transforms, dissolving childhood.

All that remains are fragments, grains of sand.
