Collision

Mathilde Lesueur – Collision

From an impressive loss of control to an explosion of shattered glass, I find myself in the middle of a wavering and inevitable chaos. I hold on to an uncertain light and let my body give in to the injuries. Between reconstruction and obsession, Collision explores how car accidents and injuries are shown in modern images. This work mixes the violence of my story with the way I make it attractive and digitalized. I represent myself through the image of broken doll, I create a confusion between the real and the unreal, symbolizing memory after a traumatic event. This project, an installation using chrome and glass, takes place in a setting where the gaze of the others and an injured girl interact.
