About

In her photographs, collages and films, Anaïs Ibert’s search through reality reveals parallel universes filled with poetry, oddity, rhythm, music and that indescribable feeling of the Tragic. In her work, cuts and layers are slivers of soul drawing on our own human wounds, on the beauty of an evanescent world, the strength of one Breath.
Hands are stretched. Beings seem to beseech abyssal tormented heavens. And behind rich sandy textures, in flat tints and rectangular shapes, there lurks a time for Dream and Meditation.
Mystery and a whole of sensations emerge from the pictures and sounds of “Siboney – film-collage 1”, her film-collage. The words coming in waves, the pulsating breath of sounds and music, inverted faces, out-of-sync voices, and ambiguous side tracking shots justify the sentence “I’m just making up where I don’t know”. And the wandering becomes Passage, Journey and Creation.
Anaïs Ibert can only abduct our eyes with delight to question the floating dust of our uncertain past and future.
