Iseult Fayolle
Iseult Fayolle's proposal is entitled Recueillements. It consists of a series of settings of small travel photographs with assemblages of different stoneware or porcelain objects made in the studio. Developed in the context of a global pandemic, this work can be understood as an archive of emotions. It freely combines reality and fiction. The meaning of each micro-narrative is open-ended: "Mes Recueilments are the expression of my states of mind, where photographic memories and poetic visions come together. It's an intimate state of affairs, like a sensitive archive of "exhibits" echoing a palpable global uncertainty.
Although Iseult Fayolle's photographs have an obvious plastic dimension, they are above all intimate, and it is in this register that she freely associates them with compositions from the ceramics workshop. The latter have been built up gradually, through trial and error, opening up the meaning of the photo- graphic images by projecting a mental interpretation onto them. The artist creates intimate teatrini in the style of Fausto Melotti. Each appears as "a landscape within a landscape, in which the tracks of reality and imagination are blurred". Iseult Fayolle's works are thus invitations to make inner journeys in which all those who, one day, experienced a situation of confinement, will recognize themselves. LR
