Marie Hervé for the Art Instead online programme
Through spacial installations and self-publications, my work interrogates contemporary uses of new media, writings and images as phantoms, personal ruins or damaged memories; from family archives and museum conservation to cellphones images, in order to question the power relations between image "users" and new spaces of diffusion and communication.

On: Online Residency interview with Lydia Denno
#2 The relationship between the body and physical or digital space has been a constant and fundamental part of your practice during this residency; how does this relate to audience participation? Is the performative part something you are interested in?
Fairly early on, I became interested in the notion that my body constrained in physical space could be paralleled by my illustrations being constrained within the digital space; in this case, the boundaries of the Instagram box echoing the boundaries of my inhabited architecture. In this way, although I was documenting an essentially personal experience, I hoped that the representation of it in this way could speak to an audience who might not be encountering the same level of isolation or experience of these new normals.
The incorporation of text also felt integral to, not only dialoguing with the imagery, but also drawing the audience into my thoughts and feelings. I nuanced the words with an intimacy which I hoped would offer an invitation to empathize with the project narrative.
Equally, the desire to journey from a somewhat bereft physical experience to a playful one came from wanting to advocate the scope of emotions we’re feeling at this time and to encourage opportunity as well as grief in the face of such unprecedented times.
As for audience participation per se, I’ve been reflecting on the idea that technology both connects and isolates us. In the case of inviting participation, I have found that something of a challenge. I’m very interested in the performative side of my practice but I felt that the ‘isolating’ nature of the Instagram platform denied a dialogue between artist and audience. This was in part due to working to a set of rules which I had decided but which I couldn’t insist on an audience to follow. I’ll talk more about this later.

The Omega Elegies by Clemence Barret We are the best at killing every form of life including ourselves. “ The Omega Elegies” are a process toward such change and reform" and a "series of mourning odes in response to ecological grief and a funeral for anthropocentric habits.
