Brigitte AMARGER
Statement:
AMARGER is working predominantly with medical imagery and new technologies, in large-scale installations, playing with the aesthetic factors of transparency and reflection.
Her work unquestionably fashion a reflection about human, its place in the society, the universe and the nature, the traces he leaves.
She has a deep-rooted interest for the scientific and medical world and she questions about our actual body that expresses our complexity and mystery, and the future H+.
Sewing together laser cut and engraved X-rays, transplanting and reconstructing the body anatomy, she explores the relationship between a surgeon and an artist.
This diversion of materials, for artistic purposes and memory ends, is essential for her. Sensitive to ecological issues, she finds in her artistic practice a symbolic double direction: create artworks by recycling discarded materials.
