Isabelle Vicherat par Marion Alluchon - publication 2010 Portraits La
galerie- extrait
(...) Isabelle Vicherat travaille principalement sur la reprsentation du corps
humain pour aborder des questions existentielles. Construites avec des mat-
riaux pauvres et sur des mises en scne simples, ses pices (...) interrogent
la condition humaine. Usant de la mtaphore et de lallgorie, prfrant le
registre de la suggestion celui de la narration, Isabelle Vicherat interprte le
geste comme une parole, lexpression corporelle comme un langage crant
des uvres dune puissante force de communication qui tablissent avec le
spectateur la possibilit dune intime communion.
Isabelle Vicherat by Marion Alluchon - publication 2010 Portraits Thegallery - extract
(...) Isabelle Vicherat works mainly on the representation of the human body
to approach existential questions. Made with poor materials and simple direc-
tions, her work (...) questions the human condition. Using the metaphor and
the allegory, preferring the register of the suggestion to the one of the narra-
tion, Isabelle Vicherat interprets the gesture as a word, the self-expression
through movement as a language creating works of a powerful strength of
communication which establish with the spectator the possibility of an intimate
communion.

(...) Un observateur inattentif verrait dans le travail dIsabelle Vicherat deux
directions antagonistes : dun ct, elle nous montre souvent des choses ter-riblement concrtes scalps ou tresses de cheveux (la boue, la crasse et le
cheveu, emblmes depuis Platon de la concrtude dans ce quelle a de plus
grotesque) de lautre, elle semble en permanence attache soustraire
quelque chose notre regard, nous obliger, dirait un photographe, faire
le point sur une chose invisible. Mais cest peut-tre que son ambition est de
rendre sensible l ide de labsence et de linvisible, de nous faire prouver en
images le caractre terriblement concret, parfois, de labsence.
Didier Semin
(...) An inadvertent observer would see in the work of Isabelle Vicherat twoopposite directions: on one side, she often shows us things terribly concrete
- scalps or plaits (the mud, the grime and the hair, the emblems since Platon
of the concretude in what it has of more grotesque) - on the other one, she
seems permanently attached to subtract something from our glance, to oblige
us, would say a photographer, to focus on an invisible thing. But it is maybe
that her ambition is to make sensitive the idea of the absence and the invi-
sible, to make us feel in images the character terribly concrete, sometimes, of
the absence.

A travers la vido, linstallation et le dessin, je propose un langage qui retrans-
crit parfois ironiquement, dautres fois potiquement, des comportements
relationnels et des ressentis intrieurs.
Mon travail voque les frontires que lon cre en nous-mme et entre
nous. Des frontires comme des zones de sparation, de dlimitation ou
dchanges, de transmissions. Des terrains de troubles, de tensions, parfois
de conits, entre rsistance et dsir.
Il est souvent question dextraire des lments dune ralit quotidienne ou
dune tradition pour les sortir de leur contexte et les rvler sous un aspect
particulier. Je les isole, je les confronte une gestuelle, un objet, parfois je les
fais apparatre, disparatre... Je fabrique des mises en situation en cherchant
les charger dun autre sens, en tirer une dimension symbolique.
Through video, installation and drawing, I propose a language which retrans-cribes sometimes ironically, other times poetically, relational behaviors and
inner states.
My work evokes the borders that we create in ourself and between us. Borders
as zones of separation, demarcation or exchanges, transmissions. Lands of
confusions, tensions, sometimes conicts, between resistance and desire.
It is often a necessary question to extract elements of a daily reality or a
tradition in order to take them out of their context and reveal them under a
particular angle. I isolate them, I confront them with a body movements, an
object, sometimes I make them, appear or disappear... I set down situation by
trying to give them another meaning, to reveal them in a symbolic dimension.

formulate an attempt of desperate communication, the report of a wished but
inaccessible relation.

2 HDV videos, 16:9, colors, 2mins 30 secs, dimensions: 90 cm x 170 cm.
These 2 videos are synchronized and projected in loop in front of each other.
A gestual inspired by the everyday life investigates the notions of seduction
and narcissism and disturb the borders of these two states. The characters
look sometimes to each other and sometimes in a mirror which is not visible
in the image. Occasionally, they look at the camera, which means at the spec-
tator. The visitor circulates in this play of glances which questions the sense
of the appearance. Whom addresses the image of seduction of these charac-
ters? To themself? To each other? To the spectator?

A VIDE (from emptyness), video, 2013.
HDV video, 16:9, color, 4 mins 25 secs, variable size of projection.
Women around thirty years old, holding empty strollers and express physically
and metaphorically their feelings about their ability to give birth.
The action takes place in a desert urban zone. Space where there is nothing
to do but where at the same time everything can be done.
The empty strollers appear as interrogation marks. They symbolize the idea of
a possible and nevertheless unimplemented childbirth. It is about a contem-
porary and common object which sends woman back directly to her feminine/
mother identity.

Ecrit sur le front (Written on forehead), video installation, 2012.
HDV video, 16:9, colors, 1 min 56 secs, video projected in a loop in a black
box, size of projection: height 200 cm x width 300 cm.
Appearances and disappearances of faces - in real scale - face the specta-
tor but also the light which reveals them. It is about anonymous portraits in
movement. These people try hard to face the light which is pointed at their
forehead and which has the role to dazzle them. An inner seek which would
require to resist to a possible blindness. This video was realized in Armenia. If
we translate literally the word fate into Armenian language, it means what
is written on the forehead.

Numenest un projet multimdia (installation et vido) ralis et prsent enArmnie travers une exposition personnelle AJZ spaceen 2012.
Une vieille tradition populaire armnienne consiste lire lavenir dans le marcde caf. Observer cette coutume permet dapprocher la ralit dune autremanire et de questionner la nature humaine sur ses espoirs, dsirs et peurs.Lenjeu est aussi dvoquer un ancien rituel travers des outils contempo-rains an douvrir un dialogue entre tradition et modernit.
En Armnie, une dame a lu mon avenir dans ma tasse de caf. Jai enregistrle son de ses prdictions et jai utilis cet enregistrement comme support detravail.Ce projet se compose de 3 travaux: une installation vido; Sans titre, uneinstallation; Coffee carpet, et une vido; Sans titre (Anoush).
Numenis a multimedia project (installation and video) realized and presented
in Armenia through a personnal exhibition in AJZ space, in 2012.
It evokes the old and popular armenian tradition of reading the future in the
coffee marc. Coffee cup reading is a way to approach reality from another
side. It is a reection of human nature through its hopes, desires, and fears.
It is also a necessary question to evoke an old ritual through a contemporary
medium to open a dialogue between tradition and modernity.
In Armenia, Ive met a woman who red me the future in my coffee cup. Ive
recorded those predictions and used this record as a working support.
This work gathers 3 pieces: a video installation; Untitled, an installation; Cof-
fee carpetand a video; Untitled (Anoush).

This is the right moment when the destiny is drawn up. The destiny is revealed
by the audio and hidden at the same time by the image. While the coffee is
covering the view of the cup, a woman is telling the predictions.

In this video, the record of my predictions have been used as a script. We can
see archetypal codes and a strong symbolism in predictions, where connec-
tions with the language of the dream or the collective unconscious can be
found. The Sepia tint reminds the color of the coffee drawings.

Recueillement, installation, 2010.
Papier, piques en bois, poudre de charbon, dimensions: 15 cm x 100 cm x120 cm.
Des supports en papier blanc semblables des tagres entre lesquels
une poudre de charbon est tombe. Le papier se courbe sous le poids de la
poudre quil tente de retenir comme des vestiges. La poudre qui na pas t
retenue par le papier forme un tas au sol. Ces matriaux prcaires invitent le
visiteur se recueillir devant ce qui a t perdu, ce qui na pas pu se faire, ce
que lon sefforce en vain de retenir.
Recueillement (Meditation), installation, 2010.
Paper, wooden pikes,charcoal powder, dimensions: 15 cm x 100 cm x 120 cm.
White sheets of paper similar to shelves between which a powder of coal felldown. The paper bends under the weight of the powder which it tries to retain
as vestiges. The powder which was not retained by the paper make a heap on
the ground. These precarious materials invite the visitor to meditate in front
of what has been lost, what was not able to be made and what we try never-
theless hard to retain.

Just before, installation, 2010.
Corde, systme daccrochage, dimensions variables: hauteur de 600 cm, dia-
mtre de 7 cm.
Une corde relie du sol au plafond se trouve efloche en son centre, sur le
point de se rompre. Un instant T juste avant la rupture. Le hasard dcidera si
le spectateur assistera ou non cette rupture. Une tension se dgage de cet
tat de prcarit, de cette fragilit qui ne peut tre quphmre.
Just before, installation, 2010.
Rope, xing system, variable dimensions: height is 600 cm, diameter is 7cm.
A rope tied from the ground to the ceiling is frayed in its center, on the point
to break. A precised moment, just before the break. The fate will decide if the
spectator will attend or not to this rupture. A tension goes out of this state ofprecariousness, of this fragility which can be only short-lived.

Mes dessins naissent dans la solitude, dans une intimit o lexpression surgit
intuitivement. Dans cet tat dintrospection, la spontanit me permet dvo-
quer des ressentis intrieurs. Le corps, quil soit reprsent de faon gura -
tive ou suggr par des formes organiques, est omniprsent. Pouvant tre
aussi bien le tmoin, lacteur et le transmetteur dtats intrieurs, il est le sujet
central de mes dessins.
Tout en occupant une place part entire, le dessin constitue une sorte de
sous -terrain de ma pratique artistique do mergent bien souvent mes ides
de vidos et dinstallations.
My drawings arise in solitude, in an intimacy where the expression can spring
intuitively. In this state of introspection, the spontaneity allows me to evoke
what is felt inside. The body that is represented sometimes in a gurative way
or sometimes suggested by organic forms, is omnipresent. As if it could be aswell the witness, the actor and the transmitter of inner states, it is the central
subject of my drawings.
The drawing establishes a kind of underground passage of my artistic practice
where my ideas of videos and installations often come from.
