Artistic approach:
Passionate about visual arts, Valerie has been working around the theme of the perception of reality and its subjectivity since the early 2000s. What is reality? Between our physical, biochemical, cultural conditioning... what is our share of freedom as human beings, in our perception of the world, our decisions, our choices, our positions?
Forms will be proposed that will change in meaning and appearance according to the reading distance of the spectator. Parallel worlds that cohabit and live through each other, or a volume can be two-dimensional, a static movement and a non-existent matter... All in a game that bases its rules on the multiplicity of reality.
