Mouvement aléatoire des cartes at Art-cade gallery in Marseille in 2012.

Her practice deals with the point of view as plastic or textual data but also as a condition of approach of the work of which the viewer becomes witness and reader. The reading and translating devices are serving a work she names software. She mixes different techniques to give a wide range of points of view about being and living together. Codes are diverted, redistributed and multiplied to create new meanings. The artist develops forms of artistic approaches that install distance with the image, mediation role of the technical object and the portrait of the artist as translator.
