TEXT BY ELENA CARDIN


* La zone périlunaire (Lunar peripheral space), 2019








I seek to embellish the world so that it may become more livable; I seek to bring poetry and transcendence into what feels to me too concrete or too rigid.

I try to offer a different imagery, as a response to modernity, to excessive structuring, and to imposed knowledge.

I look for an entry point, an exit, a space set apart, a place where one can rest. I imagine worlds

— an ideal world, an imaginary world.

And sometimes, because this process is a vast adventure, I lose myself in the corners of my psyche, somewhere between shadow and light.


Delphine C. Bertrand
