Textile arts, photography, multidisciplinary arts, wrighting
Mon travail s’articule autour d’une recherche de la valorisation de matériaux défectueux, destinés à être jetés mais aussi peu considérés ou délaissés dans les ateliers. D’utiliser des outils “de base” pas nécessairement performants et observer. Mettre en avant l’impermanence, l’esthétique qui naît de l’imprévu et du hasard, d’essayer, de faire, de laisser reposer et d’y revenir et de faire avec. De mettre en valeur la trace laissée. Je fais appel à des personnes, proches ou anonymes afin de m’aider lors de la conception des mes pièces. Une sorte d’excuse pour provoquer une rencontre.
Born in Bourges (France) in 1988. Pauline studied fashion design and moved to Brussels in 2010 to pursue a bachelor's degree in textile design before joining the master's programme of the Tapestry / Textile Arts workshop at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Brussels. She also practices silver photography. As a multidisciplinary artist, Pauline composes with chance to make the banal visible.
Today her practice is multiple and is expressed through different mediums such as photography, writing, textiles or the conception of ready-made.
Often with a touch of humour, she questions the banal by focusing her production on the reuse of everyday objects and materials that are neglected or not given much value.
Encounter is also at the heart of her work. With the project "Des Histoires de Nappes", she publishes advertisements to go and eat at strangers' homes and exhibits the tablecloths. A booklet called "Cuizine" was produced in which the artist shares the recipes of the dishes she has eaten with her guests.
