Non classé – Marianne Pascal

After a life as an architect, Marianne Pascal decided to devote herself entirely to art. The many media she uses (drawing, painting, installation, video and writing) vary according to the theme explored.

Her work invites us to immerse ourselves in the world of childhood, memories and dreams, using the metaphor of travel through time and space. She works with recycled materials, assembling them in a fragile equilibrium, asserting the art of bricolage.

The objects created, often animated, produce noise and light.

The videos are edited from sounds and images captured in the past, set against those of the present

She has written an essay on art, “S’accrocher au monde”, published in March 2021 by L’art-dit, and an essay on the unconscious, “l’inconscient(e)”, published in September 2022 by Stilus. A third book on art and space is in progress.

Rockets

2009 — 2024

Take a rocket to travel through time and space.

The weight of memories

2015 — 2017

(Objects, sounds, installation) – Symbols of travel and of time passing, metaphor for all that one “lugs” with oneself, suitcases are here laid on the ground, as if in a station hall.
Each one of them is associated with the photo of a landmark place and is connected to a “dashboard” from which one revives the photo as in the flash of a memory.

cars

2021 — 2025

city car, racing car, sedan, sports car, family car, rover....
Where does our fascination with cars come from? and what have they engendered?

Inner projections [the blue room]

(1980) — 2019

(paintings, sculptures and video) – From the bedroom wallpaper the arrows release themselves.

Narcissus [at the pool]

2022 — 2025

Painting, objects, vidéo.

The series, linked to a traumatic event in the artist’s childhood, explains her fascination with pools and their mysterious depths. The fluorescence of the blue water reflects her own history and forever splashes across her vision of the world.

TV room

2014

(6 Vidéos, mirrors, cathode ray tubes TVs and dvd’s players) – Between the wall of televisions and that of mirrors, we find ourselves trapped by the fascination of screens. The video broadcasts remind us metaphorically of its limit, and utilize to put us in the abyss, the aesthetics of “snow”, in which we know that a few photons from the fossil radiation of the big bang still remain.

The Egg

2014 — 2015

(Sculpture, photo)
A decompression sphere, a place for video viewing, and for protection.
From the outside, one cannot guess that a door is present, so one can lock her/himself in and disappear quietly from the surface of the earth.
