Hélène Fauquet. Phenomena

Hélène Fauquet Phenomena When Hélène Fauquet projected herself into the exhibition space, she kept thinking of the eponymous film by Dario Argento. Through this obscure film, it led her to observe the backdrop of the place and how the concept of ambiance or some atmospheric elements could act upon us. Paying attention to the ability of the eye to capture and store certain images in memory, the series of “shrines” or “altars” present in this exhibition questions the way in which information is stored. They represent how, from a retinal point of view, an observer receives this information, but also how an image “sits” within a system of objects. […] An interview with Hélène Fauquet and Melanie Ohnemus will accompany the exhibition. b. 1989 in Saint-Saulve, FR, lives and works in Vienna and Paris. 2014 HfBK Städelschule, Frankfurt 2009 École Supérieure des Beaux-Arts, Valenciennes
