Falquée wing of the dream, You will find us tonight
on other banks…

Inspired by the Birds de Saint-John Perse, Julie Bessard deploys its sculptures straw stapled to invade the space of the Foundation.
Winged forms interact with their moving shadows, carrying them to hybrid identities.

Julie Bessard is a visual atmospheres that creates hybrid forms combining and shifting carved their shadows. The poetry of Saint-John Perse echoes his work in the expression of the encounter between territories, times and imaginary. Forms escape from a world assigned to the unexpected birth, Poetry.

As Patrick Chamoiseau talking about their common : “a form in its shade, a shadow to form, Julie Bessard invokes this same strangeness that roam the ancient signs, animal shadows, forms beyond the hybrid…” (in Incommencements, Meditations from Julie Bessard).

Julie Bessard and Patrick Chamoiseau create in the wake of Saint-John Perse.
