FLOATING BODY

A projected image, a superimposed space. This work is about bringing together two places, two temporalities: my room in Japan, captured during my internship year, unfolds on the walls of my apartment in France. A fragile coexistence takes hold, where the familiar and the distant intertwine, where the contours of one intimate space come to haunt another.

The title, Floating Body, refers to those small dark spots that drift across our field of vision, residual traces that can be forgotten or become obsessive. Here, the projected image acts in the same way: it imposes itself in a new space while retaining a form of evanescence, like a lingering memory, a shifting imprint that disrupts perception.

This superposition questions the way we inhabit places, physically and mentally. What remains of a space when we leave it? Can it still exist elsewhere, in another light, on other walls? By projecting this image, I seek to make the invisible visible: the attachment to places, the memory that lingers there, the feeling of being between two worlds without ever being completely anchored in either.

The image becomes a passage, a window opening onto an absent presence. It evokes distance, nostalgia, but also the possibility of recomposing one's own territory, of inhabiting several spaces simultaneously, of making tangible what usually floats in our minds.
