« un dialogue avec une mémoire de la lumière »
Françoise Docquiert
Docquiert reads the repeated stays in Jyväskylä as more than a geographical background. The brief Scandinavian seasons, family memory and a sustained dialogue with natural matter form the ground of the work.
She connects this research to Tomas Tranströmer, William James and Stan Brakhage: poetry, knowledge through experience and an experimental cinema released from conventional perspective.
The works shown at Montrouge are described as plural fragments of one enquiry—Super 8 loops, ground impressions, lichen, screen prints and painted surfaces. They resemble topographic records without becoming neutral observations.
Across cinema, printmaking and screen printing, the project investigates optical perception, retinal dynamics and visual confusion. Light is both the condition of the image and the unstable material through which memory returns.
