Les interventions brèves

(Short Interventions)

1999-…

The Short Interventions include ephemeral and deliberately temporary projects. Like building blocks, I develop modular and foldable structures that can be reassembled in different forms and places. The Short Interventions explore the intuitive gesture, manipulation, and action in relationship to the body. These structures appropriate a specific space for a certain amount of time. Acting like party decorations, the Short Interventions are moments of magic that we can unfold and experience then pack in a box after use. Through these works, I consider notions of permanence and the need to leave a trace.
