Peau de chagrin
2016 - Installation (Installation)

Gaëlle Choisne
The average human has approximately 2 squared meters of skin. Deployed in space, suspended by small gold-plated chains, this skin is a recording tissue, a sensitive surface. The work is a result of a series of experiments with silicone and surfaces on which the artist transfers images. The iridescent and slightly colored appearance, is the result of these image transfers, part of which comes from a cave in the Dordogne and the other from Haitian vegetation, particularly the soursop leaf used to heal cancer.
Gaelle Choisne’s artistic practice is an address to the world’s disorder. Without any pessimism or catastrophism, it mirrors the complexity of contemporary times trough multiple medias and burgeoning installations. Sculptures, images and referential systems are imbricatedhere and merge in opulent environments, inhabited by the gestures of the artist. Between occult fables and objective sciences, from the Caribbean to European literary traditions, she navigates through imaginaries as composite as the techniques which give them shape: casting, firing, printout, suspension, collage, torsion, extraction. The artist’sinterest in the work process is often left apparent in installations-sculptures-images whose fringes are always experimental. As if, lost in apermanent gestation, her work could not obtain a permanent status in regard to its arrangement, form and reproducibility. Thus, itspertinence is to be found in this discontinuous transformation, this systematic reversing of media, techniques and surfaces. This practice of becoming, in which meaning can arise only through perpetual movement, operates through palpation and seems always agitated,marked by an organic energy. One could say that the hand, which always fiddles, displaces and modifies plays a kind of drag, a falselynaïve craftsmanship. (Text by Thomas Conchou)
