    Isabelle Vicherat par Marion Alluchon - publication 2010 Portraits La

    galerie- extrait

    (...) Isabelle Vicherat travaille principalement sur la reprsentation du corps

    humain pour aborder des questions existentielles. Construites avec des mat-

    riaux pauvres et sur des mises en scne simples, ses pices (...) interrogent

    la condition humaine. Usant de la mtaphore et de lallgorie, prfrant le

    registre de la suggestion celui de la narration, Isabelle Vicherat interprte le

    geste comme une parole, lexpression corporelle comme un langage crant

    des uvres dune puissante force de communication qui tablissent avec le

    spectateur la possibilit dune intime communion.

    Isabelle Vicherat by Marion Alluchon - publication 2010 Portraits Thegallery - extract

    (...) Isabelle Vicherat works mainly on the representation of the human body

    to approach existential questions. Made with poor materials and simple direc-

    tions, her work (...) questions the human condition. Using the metaphor and

    the allegory, preferring the register of the suggestion to the one of the narra-

    tion, Isabelle Vicherat interprets the gesture as a word, the self-expression

    through movement as a language creating works of a powerful strength of

    communication which establish with the spectator the possibility of an intimate

    communion.

    (...) Un observateur inattentif verrait dans le travail dIsabelle Vicherat deux

    directions antagonistes : dun ct, elle nous montre souvent des choses ter-riblement concrtes scalps ou tresses de cheveux (la boue, la crasse et le

    cheveu, emblmes depuis Platon de la concrtude dans ce quelle a de plus

    grotesque) de lautre, elle semble en permanence attache soustraire

    quelque chose notre regard, nous obliger, dirait un photographe, faire

    le point sur une chose invisible. Mais cest peut-tre que son ambition est de

    rendre sensible l ide de labsence et de linvisible, de nous faire prouver en

    images le caractre terriblement concret, parfois, de labsence.

    Didier Semin

    (...) An inadvertent observer would see in the work of Isabelle Vicherat twoopposite directions: on one side, she often shows us things terribly concrete

    - scalps or plaits (the mud, the grime and the hair, the emblems since Platon

    of the concretude in what it has of more grotesque) - on the other one, she

    seems permanently attached to subtract something from our glance, to oblige

    us, would say a photographer, to focus on an invisible thing. But it is maybe

    that her ambition is to make sensitive the idea of the absence and the invi-

    sible, to make us feel in images the character terribly concrete, sometimes, of

    the absence.

    A travers la vido, linstallation et le dessin, je propose un langage qui retrans-

    crit parfois ironiquement, dautres fois potiquement, des comportements

    relationnels et des ressentis intrieurs.

    Mon travail voque les frontires que lon cre en nous-mme et entre

    nous. Des frontires comme des zones de sparation, de dlimitation ou

    dchanges, de transmissions. Des terrains de troubles, de tensions, parfois

    de conits, entre rsistance et dsir.

    Il est souvent question dextraire des lments dune ralit quotidienne ou

    dune tradition pour les sortir de leur contexte et les rvler sous un aspect

    particulier. Je les isole, je les confronte une gestuelle, un objet, parfois je les

    fais apparatre, disparatre... Je fabrique des mises en situation en cherchant

    les charger dun autre sens, en tirer une dimension symbolique.

    Through video, installation and drawing, I propose a language which retrans-cribes sometimes ironically, other times poetically, relational behaviors and

    inner states.

    My work evokes the borders that we create in ourself and between us. Borders

    as zones of separation, demarcation or exchanges, transmissions. Lands of

    confusions, tensions, sometimes conicts, between resistance and desire.

    It is often a necessary question to extract elements of a daily reality or a

    tradition in order to take them out of their context and reveal them under a

    particular angle. I isolate them, I confront them with a body movements, an

    object, sometimes I make them, appear or disappear... I set down situation by

    trying to give them another meaning, to reveal them in a symbolic dimension.

    per, real drops of water slide on the walls of cupboards and thus on the image

    of cheeks. The physical reality of the water creates a particular relation with

    the virtuality of the face. A ghostly presence which would leave its tracks in

    the real.

    An invisible bar gathers hands which hang on and fall down. A movement as

    a decision. Confusion between the intention of a meeting and the absence of

    direct contact. The physical tension loads the space, the invisible of a strange

    2 HDV videos, 16:9, colors, 2mins 30 secs, dimensions: 90 cm x 170 cm.

    These 2 videos are synchronized and projected in loop in front of each other.

    A gestual inspired by the everyday life investigates the notions of seduction

    and narcissism and disturb the borders of these two states. The characters

    look sometimes to each other and sometimes in a mirror which is not visible

    in the image. Occasionally, they look at the camera, which means at the spec-

    tator. The visitor circulates in this play of glances which questions the sense

    of the appearance. Whom addresses the image of seduction of these charac-

    ters? To themself? To each other? To the spectator?

    A VIDE (from emptyness), video, 2013.

    HDV video, 16:9, color, 4 mins 25 secs, variable size of projection.

    Women around thirty years old, holding empty strollers and express physically

    and metaphorically their feelings about their ability to give birth.

    The action takes place in a desert urban zone. Space where there is nothing

    to do but where at the same time everything can be done.

    The empty strollers appear as interrogation marks. They symbolize the idea of

    a possible and nevertheless unimplemented childbirth. It is about a contem-

    porary and common object which sends woman back directly to her feminine/

    mother identity.

    HDV video, 16:9, colors, 1 min 56 secs, video projected in a loop in a black

    box, size of projection: height 200 cm x width 300 cm.

    Appearances and disappearances of faces - in real scale - face the specta-

    tor but also the light which reveals them. It is about anonymous portraits in

    movement. These people try hard to face the light which is pointed at their

    forehead and which has the role to dazzle them. An inner seek which would

    require to resist to a possible blindness. This video was realized in Armenia. If

    we translate literally the word fate into Armenian language, it means what

    is written on the forehead.

    Numenest un projet multimdia (installation et vido) ralis et prsent enArmnie travers une exposition personnelle AJZ spaceen 2012.

    Une vieille tradition populaire armnienne consiste lire lavenir dans le marcde caf. Observer cette coutume permet dapprocher la ralit dune autremanire et de questionner la nature humaine sur ses espoirs, dsirs et peurs.Lenjeu est aussi dvoquer un ancien rituel travers des outils contempo-rains an douvrir un dialogue entre tradition et modernit.

    En Armnie, une dame a lu mon avenir dans ma tasse de caf. Jai enregistrle son de ses prdictions et jai utilis cet enregistrement comme support detravail.Ce projet se compose de 3 travaux: une installation vido; Sans titre, uneinstallation; Coffee carpet, et une vido; Sans titre (Anoush).

    Numenis a multimedia project (installation and video) realized and presented

    in Armenia through a personnal exhibition in AJZ space, in 2012.

    It evokes the old and popular armenian tradition of reading the future in the

    coffee marc. Coffee cup reading is a way to approach reality from another

    side. It is a reection of human nature through its hopes, desires, and fears.

    It is also a necessary question to evoke an old ritual through a contemporary

    medium to open a dialogue between tradition and modernity.

    In Armenia, Ive met a woman who red me the future in my coffee cup. Ive

    recorded those predictions and used this record as a working support.

    This work gathers 3 pieces: a video installation; Untitled, an installation; Cof-

    fee carpetand a video; Untitled (Anoush).

    Here, the process of the coffee marc sliding on the walls of the cup is shot.

    This is the right moment when the destiny is drawn up. The destiny is revealed

    by the audio and hidden at the same time by the image. While the coffee is

    covering the view of the cup, a woman is telling the predictions.

    Vido HD, 16:9, colors, 1 min 30 secs, diffuse en boucle sur moniteur.

    Pour cette vido, les prdictions de la dame ont t utilises comme scnario.

    Dans les prdictions, la prsence dlments archtypaux et dun fort symbo-

    lisme suggrent des connections tonnantes avec le langage du rve ou de

    linconscient collectif. La teinte spia rappelle celle des dessins que lon peut

    Untitled (Anoush), video, 2012.

    HD video, 16:9, colors, 1 mins 30 secs, diffused in loop on monitor.

    In this video, the record of my predictions have been used as a script. We can

    see archetypal codes and a strong symbolism in predictions, where connec-

    tions with the language of the dream or the collective unconscious can be

    found. The Sepia tint reminds the color of the coffee drawings.

    Recueillement, installation, 2010.

    Papier, piques en bois, poudre de charbon, dimensions: 15 cm x 100 cm x120 cm.

    Des supports en papier blanc semblables des tagres entre lesquels

    une poudre de charbon est tombe. Le papier se courbe sous le poids de la

    poudre quil tente de retenir comme des vestiges. La poudre qui na pas t

    retenue par le papier forme un tas au sol. Ces matriaux prcaires invitent le

    visiteur se recueillir devant ce qui a t perdu, ce qui na pas pu se faire, ce

    que lon sefforce en vain de retenir.

    Recueillement (Meditation), installation, 2010.

    Paper, wooden pikes,charcoal powder, dimensions: 15 cm x 100 cm x 120 cm.

    White sheets of paper similar to shelves between which a powder of coal felldown. The paper bends under the weight of the powder which it tries to retain

    as vestiges. The powder which was not retained by the paper make a heap on

    the ground. These precarious materials invite the visitor to meditate in front

    of what has been lost, what was not able to be made and what we try never-

    theless hard to retain.

    Une corde relie du sol au plafond se trouve efloche en son centre, sur le

    point de se rompre. Un instant T juste avant la rupture. Le hasard dcidera si

    Just before, installation, 2010.

    Rope, xing system, variable dimensions: height is 600 cm, diameter is 7cm.

    A rope tied from the ground to the ceiling is frayed in its center, on the point

    to break. A precised moment, just before the break. The fate will decide if the

    spectator will attend or not to this rupture. A tension goes out of this state ofprecariousness, of this fragility which can be only short-lived.

    Mes dessins naissent dans la solitude, dans une intimit o lexpression surgit

    intuitivement. Dans cet tat dintrospection, la spontanit me permet dvo-

    quer des ressentis intrieurs. Le corps, quil soit reprsent de faon gura -

    tive ou suggr par des formes organiques, est omniprsent. Pouvant tre

    aussi bien le tmoin, lacteur et le transmetteur dtats intrieurs, il est le sujet

    central de mes dessins.

    Tout en occupant une place part entire, le dessin constitue une sorte de

    sous -terrain de ma pratique artistique do mergent bien souvent mes ides

    de vidos et dinstallations.

    My drawings arise in solitude, in an intimacy where the expression can spring

    intuitively. In this state of introspection, the spontaneity allows me to evoke

    what is felt inside. The body that is represented sometimes in a gurative way

    or sometimes suggested by organic forms, is omnipresent. As if it could be aswell the witness, the actor and the transmitter of inner states, it is the central

    subject of my drawings.

    The drawing establishes a kind of underground passage of my artistic practice

    where my ideas of videos and installations often come from.
