The reader will have to negotiate with a non-exhaustive series of figures that we use as projection spaces when approaching the works of Marie Cool Fabio Balducci and Varda Caivano. The beautiful opacity of their respective work has made us wish to describe nuances. In this apparent discontinuity, our thoughts - and those of authors dear to us - meet to express the pleasure we find in these fixed and mobile images, which fight petrifaction. The abstraction at play in Varda Caivano's paintings and drawings and that of Marie Cool's filmed gestures at precarious objects, isn't fake. It is an abstraction that literally falls out of language. Télécharger le dossier de presse
