Claire Trotignon

Claire Trotignon works through the collision of heterogeneous elements, her drawings, collages and installations deconstructing our traditional perspectival point of view to give rise to new space-time.

She extends the lines and wefts of etching fragments, and the heterogeneity and multitude of her sources produce a prismatic image. Her topologies play on relativistic, anachronistic parameters, balancing on the emptiness of a drawing in reserve.

The combination of landscape, architecture and cartography gives rise to a form of ruin, becoming both a symbol of loss and a spare reading of our reality.

The fragments of cut-outs thus appear in tension between their physical materiality and the immateriality they suggest.

His compositions reveal deserted scenes, leaving us to imagine an “in-between act” in which the artist takes pleasure in summoning a certain “Poetics of space” in a geometric intuition (G.Bachelard 1884 – 1962).
