MANIFESTO

Queendom of Illusion was born instinctively.
In many ways, it was the result of a succession of encounters and connections that I have been building since adolescence.

In 2019, my friend and photographer Mélanie Bordas Aubiès offered me a new series of images. The idea: to create a huge photo studio paper dress, sculpted directly on my body.

We started with static pauses that highlighted the piece, then I began to tear the dress in a somewhat violent way, as if I had to get out of it, to free myself from it.

I felt that a character was born, that I was giving a common artistic direction to my two professions which were respectively writing and modeling: QoI, a kingdom built with my imagination, a fictional world that I carry, that encumbers me as much as it determines me.

There was an anachronistic iconography, a timeless poetry. When I saw the images, I understood that something was being built, although it completely escaped me.
