SÉANCES BIOGRAPHIQUES, 1994–2015
“A biographical cabinet where biographical sessions for visitors take place for the third
time, at random intervals. In 1994, the personal photographs of participants served
as a starting point for the first session, while housing plans started off the sessions in
the second wave, in 1996. Using these biographical data, the artist endeavours ʻto
bring out a new version of the narrative of the self, which would not be the hundredth
repetition of the same story.ʼ”
