Amélie Lainé

A few words from the artist: "I create photographic sets by putting in place elements which allow the spectator to imagine a past or future action. The spectator can attribute to the decoration a function which entails the possibility of an action." . Erving Goffman identifies our environment as a "facade", a place which gives the possibility to a person to stage a social representation. The decor of our daily life helps to normalize our actions, "the world, in truth, is a ceremony". This is why my works bring together certain clues that symbolize a theme in order to echo a reflection My paintings tell a story, an imaginary world where light animates objects in a multi-chrome way, I try to make a light appear colorful, more natural. The staging, like the photographic sets, is instructive, it tells its own story.The themes that I develop are, most often, social, societal such as the place of women in society, the panoptic effect of video. -surveillance, the authority of society, the tolerance of encounters, human themes that concern me. The place interests me because it is lasting, it transmits culture and bears witness to our passage. These places are to animate, to revive sometimes, to tell thanks to the photomontage, to the dialogue to read or to listen, these places have a poetic or fairy aspect. "
