As both a visual artist and author, Marlène Silvestrini works on short stories and texts that she transposes into sculptures, drawings, and installations. Nous, l'épave, gathers all these mediums and techniques.
Within the framework of the next biennale, we invited artist Marlène Silvestrini to create a site-specific exhibition for La Spirale. As both a visual artist and author, Silvestrini creates fictional works where the protagonist also is their omniscient narrator. The latter is bound hand and foot to the community to which he belongs. In a total absence of interlocutors or dialogue, it is the narration that reveals the main character's thoughts. Using a pretty hermetic style, the artist plays with our perception and questions the imaginative process connected with the act of reading. The notion of detail is also central to Silvestrini’s creative project. The artist often extracts sentences or parts of her literary texts and transposes them into sculptures. This specific process generates different kinds of installations consisting of drawings, scale models, or other objects.
For this exhibition, Silvestrini chose her last short story, Nous, l'épave. This text is the last part of her Le Régime de Menlo triptych. For La Spirale, the artist imagined a few installations that echo her text. Some are hanging from the ceiling; others are displayed on the foor. Pennants and cones are recurrent elements of her work. Here, the narrative space produced by the text is in sharp contrast with the physical space created by the installations.
