Marine Comte

Marine, a multidisciplinary artist, is deaf.
She explores her own territory, seeking to locate herself somewhere between two worlds: on one side, a society built upon audiocentrism; on the other, a closeness to the visual realm. Sitting on a wobbly chair between these universes means living in a constant search for answers. It is an uncertain space, a liminal posture, one that acts as a catalyst within her creations.

Her practice focuses primarily on the notion of constraints — on the relationship to the in-between, to translation. How can one translate and grasp sound, or a language she has not fully assimilated? How can one capture the fleeting moments of languages without ground, as well as the sounds that are intimately tied to temporality?

These questions lie at the core of her research. She inscribes a different kind of environment between the lines, within frequencies, through her works. They allow her to transform the constraints of ordinary, everyday situations into another linguistic and plastic expanse — one in which she can immerse herself, again and again.
