Sylvie Blocher. S’inventer autrement (To reinvent oneself differently) opens at Mudam Since the early 1990s, the French artist Sylvie Blocher has built up a body of video work that takes the human as its material—one that is fragile and unpredictable but charged with extreme presence. She engages with a poetics of relation, emancipation, the questioning of identities, the writing of history, the permeability of the masculine/feminine border, and codes of representation in a world under control. Created in different geographic regions, her works are based on exchange: they often involve the participation of external people, who are invited to present themselves in a completely new fashion before the camera, as the artist “shares her authority with her models” to create what she calls Living Pictures. e-flux/announcements/sylvie-blocher/
