“In my work, I try to create a universe impregnated with the notion of memory, of reminiscence – intrinsically linked to that of disappearance – in a form of ‘constellation’ where paintings and drawings intermingle. Through the reappropriation of photographic images from various horizons, constituting an inventory that forms a world of its own, I question presence. I reanimate fragments of a memory – images as remnants. There is a disturbing fascination exerted by certain snapshots, due to what they express, their flaws, which trigger in me a process of identification that is undermined. I have little control over the photographs I work on. They appear ambiguous, on the edge of the elusive; the event they describe remains uncertain. Hence the exhaustion of these source images: the photographic image is distanced, twisted, surpassed.” - Mireille Blanc
