Imaginary Landscapes 

Painting memories

What remains of artworks when they escape our gaze? There remain traces produced by their memories. A memory made up of a series of patterns which link together to constitute images. In this action close to the imagination, it is, once again, a matter of bringing artwork to life. It’s about bringing past forms back to life by updating them in our present.

Memory, a province of the imagination

Imaginary Landscapes proceeds from this same memory movement. The latent space of artificial imagination acts here as a machine to restore the memory of an aesthetic experience. It is a universal canvas where Bonnard, Monet and Van Gogh coexist, not as figures of the past, but as potentialities, echoes of what could have been, and what could happen. In this imaginary space, color acts as a reminiscence of dreamed works. Imaginary Landscapes thus proposes, through wandering and through artificial imagination, to paint memories.
