  1. from 2017 - My current work questions Gender in its identity assignment and the modes of transmission of its norms in History and Culture. The normative and standardized production of a social identity according to biological sex brings me, on the one hand, to speak of an identity « on feminine » and an identity « on masculine », in order to associate the process of production with the issue of conformity, and thus to accentuate the political dimension in the construction of Identity. On the other hand, it focuses my art practice on the question of deviation which enables to take distance from norms and creates other possibilities. The deviation takes shape in space through gesture, movement of body. I especially use Photography, Video and Performance, in which I incorporate text. These texts can be based on essays, notions and expressions. They have both artistic and theoretical characteristics and they intervene as an integral part of my work, sometimes becoming an image. Together, Body in Action and Text interact to reveal frameworks and their limits, and to question the possibilities of detachment.
