Dany, your collages seem to operate in what might be called a field of suspended temporality, where fragments resist narrative closure while remaining emotionally charged. How do you think about time in your work, not simply as memory or nostalgia, but as a material condition that structures the image from within?
It is true that collage inherently plays with a mixture of different times. This is due to the fact that printed materials usually serve a specific purpose and are mostly tied to contemporaneity - they often have an expiration date. Naturally, the same conditons apply to my collages. However, what may differ is my interest in the fragments I choose to use. What fascinates me about printed matter - and about visual material in general - is color, structure, pattern, light, and shadow.
