This photographic book is built around the act of choosing. Choisir (to choose), a verb often associated with the assumed decision that makes all other possibilities disappear. Yet choice is not always reduced to clear-cut crossroads: we have not chosen the imperceptible transformations of our body or the future horizon of death. There is something mysterious, fascinating or overwhelming about this work in the dark of choice. At the heart of everyday life, the need for strategies to decide what to do or not to do, compensates for the vertigo in the face of all that we do not master. Leaving fruit peels on the edge of the plate, watching strands of hair slide down the sink, scattering childhood memories like white pebbles on the path: all these are attempts to get through the passage of time and its inevitable losses.
In the artist's creative work, objects are vectors of memory and sensations. She assigns them a role as subjects, or even characters, or as symbolic elements to compose and suggest photographic stories. Like 17th century still lifes, they embody protagonists or suggest actions and events that have just occurred, which together constitute the components of the fictions she creates. This leads her, in a second phase, to work on narratives, sequences, an unfolding.
