FADING # has the appearance of a house, but is more akin to the idea of a cabin, in that there is no real threshold, no marked boundary between inside and outside. Doors and windows are visible, but not functional. These architectures, in which shelter seems possible, are both material and immaterial, open to the wind.
For it is ultimately nature that welcomes and surrounds us.
A graduate of the École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts in Dijon in 1998, Sophie Laly engages in aplastic work on the notions of time and space-time through which she questions the place of man in the landscape, and always refers us to our earthly “being”.
She produces her own video art projects (installations, documentary films, short formats, etc.) and collaborates in choreographic creations.
In the world of contemporary French dance, she collaborates as a videographer with Christian RIzzo, Emmanuelle Huynh, Rachid Ouramdane, Richard Siegal, Latifa Laâbissi and more recently Sylvain Prunenec. Her work was shown in Center Pompidou in Paris. Since 2013, she has created FADING #, an in situ video installation that depicts the appearance of a house projected on scale 1 in a landscape.
