Sets

Books are the beginnings of a majority of Éléonore False's works. She gleans images that it takes directly or that it reproduces. Then a first spatialization takes place in the binders where the cut shapes and their waste is slipped into transparent pockets. Their location is not fixed, nor is their reading direction or their chronology. For his first monograph, selected pieces from these binders have been reproduced by gradually changing the scale. With Syndicat, graphic designers and editors, it freezes for the first time some of these intuitive assemblies and these fortuitous juxtapositions. The resulting compositions are sometimes with immediate clarity; like this chameleon which rests on various layers of organic matter. For others, they reveal iconographic sources or a very varied formal vocabulary: the effectiveness visual of a glossy red mouth in full page oriented vertically or again the evocative power of counter-forms in blank pages that leave to reveal the silhouette of a face through the play of reserve. Between these pages reproduced here are slipped five sets of works. In each of them, several series, several typologies, several moments intersect and rub shoulders to reveal relationships of a different nature than those which are induced by its exhibitions. Five authors have lent themselves to the game of writing about the artist's work based solely on one of these sets and Kathy Alliou accompanies the words of Éléonore False in a interview which traces more than ten years of practice.
