STATEMENT
Pauline Thomas is a french artist and digital experience
designer. She’s working currently on two different
projects around body and map, the identity being the
link between both projects. In the neck of time has been
awarded 5 times and exhibited this year in London, Berlin,
Paris, Kiev and New York (curated by the Whitney
Museum and Biennale curator, Elisabeth Sussman) -
and ‘Mapping vacuum density’ she has started in Berlin
last year. In the neck of time is a serie composed of neck
portraits taken over 3 years. The portraits foregrounding
another faces cleared from sexual genre, social category
and esthetic values. James Brewer said :”This is far from
pure photography: it is a way of seeing human beings,
and as with many oil paintings, the perception changes
as the viewer moves to a new position.” Mapping vacuum
density is an on-going mixed-media art piece (maps,
graphic design, collage, photography). A map has been
designed to stick all the cities she has lived, a feelings
diagram legends the map, both canvas are linked by
colored pins to geolocalize her feelings, memories and
identity discoveries.
