Le lieu qui te revêt is composed of paintings and collages inspired by the Annunciations by Fra Angelico (Italian painter, 1395-1455) and by its analysis by philosopher and art historian Georges Didi-Huberman. I extracted a few words and sentences from the analysis that Georges Didi-Huberman carries out in the book Before the image, of the fresco of the Annunciation that Fra Angelico painted in cell three of the San Marco convent in Florence. These words guided me when making decisions about my pictorial choices:
“Mystery. Frontal white. Contemplation surface, a dream screen. Angelico's white, this almost nothing visible. The Annunciation, the announcement. The image of everything that devours us in the evidence of dreams. Exegetical work that the use of a pigment manages to deliver itself. What is in front of becomes all around, and the white that the monk was contemplating perhaps whispers to him: I am the place where you live — the cell itself —, I am the place that contains you. Thus, do you make yourself present to the mystery of the Annunciation, beyond representing it to yourself. The place that covers you.”
Georges Didi-Huberman
