Christelle Faucoulanche

Concepts of exhaustion and inertia appear as particularly sensitive in her work. By the deconstruction of genre and the diversion of codes and standards established, the artist creates the state of convenient doubt. Finally, beyond the metaphor of the constraint a questioning on the fluctuation of identities and micro-politics is outlined.
