Entre l’hypothèse et la narration, elle prend donc le parti de ne pas trancher. En définitive, nous construisons toujours notre monde en associant des phénomènes – et cette association se déroule comme une histoire que l’on se raconte. On ne peut percevoir les choses qu’à confronter ensemble tous les récits possibles qui s’incarnent dans les corps.

The work of Juliette-Andréa Elie is devoted to flaws in our everyday world. If we willingly trust familiar people and things, the soothing link with reality remains fragile: a single detail may create a subtle shift from one world to another.

Inserting such a disturbing element into photographic images, installations, or drawings can initiate a series of assumptions that nothing can stop.

The desire to understand leads us to carry on endless investigations on the surface of appearances. In this sense, acute attention must be paid to the displayed images or scenography as they do not blossom at first sight. Perception becomes an experience that deepens over time.

Juliette-Andrea decided not to choose between the hypothesis and the narrative. After all, we always build our world by associating phenomena, and this combination is like a story we are telling ourselves. To really perceive things, we must confront all possible stories embodied in things.
