Manon Pretto

Manon Pretto uses images and digital technology to deconstruct and question the issues of identity inherent in today’s society. Drawing her inspiration from the field, she is interested in the social relationships that individuals have with each other, particularly the relationships of authority, oppression, and resistance. As a result, her work is multidisciplinary, using a range of media from video and installation to image and performance. Her futuristic projects play with the codes of dystopia, drawing us firmly into a world that seems familiar. Each of the works here has its own story to tell, but when interconnected they form an abstract space, an entity full of potential: a witness structure. The works and the bodies intermingle, blurring the boundary between the images created by the artist and the film in which the viewer is enrolled against his or her will. At the heart of the installation, the space and the viewer enter into a dialogue that prompts them to question their perception of the images and their relationship with them. The close proximity of the body and the image, which end up merging into one, does not leave us indifferent, provoking a multitude of questions about what shapes us today. Are we the creators of our perception, or are we subject to it? by Élise Arnaud
