Dompteuse de Papier
The photographic series shows separate moments in which a Din-A-4 paper is shown at the exact moment of landing. In the experiment with a conventional blank white page, a short-lived momentary pose is captured. The blank sheet itself becomes a sculptural work with a short-lived shape, caught in the act between letting go and landing. The recurring counterpart a human hand, a reminiscent of a puppet show, directs the sheet which performs a failed pointe dance.
The quite fragile material, which can normally fall over or fly away at any moment, becomes a rather cumbersome subject in the photographs.
