Amélie Bertrand
Contrepoint contemporain
In 25 days: October 2, 2024 → January 27, 2025
From the early 2010s, the vocabulary of Amélie Bertrand has been made up of motifs—almost signs—that everyone can easily understand: brick walls, fences, chains, swimming pool tiles, taken from answers given online to questions in the form of keywords. She then combined them into “credible spaces” forming strange landscapes, which provoked in the viewer a feeling of mirage often leading to discomfort, exploring the possibilities and contradictions of these artificial images. At the center of this universe, water lilies become shapes, or perhaps the contrary, and the geometric form becomes a water lily, a symbol which effectiveness was proven, definitively checked and almost exhausted by the vast series by Claude Monet and the immersive decor of Musée de l’Orangerie.
