A huge heart, secret landscapes, some floating meadows...
There is something natural and incongruous about Emily Faïf’s world.
A world that adheres to the logic of dreams and where dreams take on the colors and contours of reality. They draw a sort of ambiguity in which light leaves no shadow, where the heavy becomes light, where wishes never fade.
And then there is the body, this continent which we would like to be familiar with and which is perhaps only a breath, tender and a little monstrous.
Body, dream, everything is there: the body in dreams, dreams in the skin, the tissue woven between the two.
Emilie Faïf sculpts the tissue, but the other way round: for it is underneath, behind, at the back, somewhere inside, that everything is played out.
