Hélène Muheim — Portfolio — Slash Paris

A landscape is essentially a construction, a position with regard to a collection of natural elements, just as a portrait, before being a portrait, is a face.
This is the view we should take of Hélène Muheim’s Lignes d’horizon, elegant landscapes in which her use of the page serves to highlight the coexistence of the landscape and its absence: a few ridgelines and snow-capped peaks, traversed by a horizontal line that is both indistinct and deliberate, suggesting other natural beauties on the immaculate surface of the white page.
