"...a quality so mysteriously and implacably egocentric that no one has ever been able to name it. This quality involves a sense of the self so profound and so powerful that it does not so much leap barriers as reduce them to atoms--while still leaving them standing, mightily, where they were; and this awful sense is private, unknowable, not to be articulated, having, literally to do with something else; it transforms and lays waste and gives life, and kills."

(Jane Beata)

knocked me off my heels 

with your telescope heart

peeling the night from my skin

like a travelling children’s opera sings beethoven

and what is left are vibrating cells

flush to their surface when the air bellows

and the sound that has transformed me

into a strange delicacy 

you will wake up to each morning

and call breakfast

Fabienne Rivory (France) - Labokoff | Miroir (2013)

Fabienne Rivory is an artist and photographer based in Paris. Since 2007, Fabienne explores in the project “Labokoff” interactions between photography and painting, real world and imagination, memories and reality. Built around photographs that are picked in her personal collection, her images are painted with gouache or ink, employed as textures, splatters or lines, that shifts the images in a dreamy register. These are dreamed images trying to recreate a momentary emotion that anyone can feel in front of nature’s beauty, a particular architectural shape, a landscape passing by or the silhouette of a beloved one.
