Stéphanie Lagarde

Stéphanie Lagarde explores our attempts to preserve knowledge and cultural heritage. Her interest lies in the archeology of knowledge – as the act of recovering lost or erased information through a process of transmission and endless re-editing. In her assemblages, various audio, visual and textual elements interact. She uses specific vocabularies such as sign languages, hybrid flowers, and whistling, architectural/sculptural/pictural codes of representation to engage with the artificiality of memory and the apparition of the image.
