Eva Ayache-Vanderhorst – Il y a un ciel dès lors qu’il y a une terre ou se repose les corps lourds.

by Eva Ayache-Vanderhorst

This immersive installation, consists of delicate, dreamlike paintings stretched over metal frames, suspended in space like windows into inner worlds. These paintings, on second-hand linen sheets as a medium, evoke evanescent landscapes, blurred figures, and fragmented scenes, appearing to float in a dimension between dream and reality, much like memories float in our minds. This space has the embodiment of the intangible barrier between the past and the present, between what we remember and what we forget, highlighting the ephemeral and sometimes deceptive nature of our recollections and its subjective fragmentation. The dagger-like pendulum, a divinatory tool, hangs above the ceiling. It refers to the tension emanating from such subjectivity.
