Visual artist Corinne Vionnet is based in Vevey (Switzerland) and through her work envisages humanity in relation to surroundings, through the prism of the link with the image. Itineraries are created in her series, within known or common places, which question our collective imagination as well as our more personal connection with the image. Corinne Vionnet’s work thus narrates stories that in addition question the way in which images transform our view of the world. The high density of the artist’s works of art raises questions about beyond the field of vision, comprising what is not, or is no longer, but also what could have been, which should have been included in the image. Corinne Vionnet in fact dismisses the obvious. Whilst being thought provoking, her works of art question the image as a vector for a social, political or economic reality. Diane Antille (extract), 2013 Artiste visuelle basée à Vevey (Suisse), Corinne Vionnet envisage dans ses œuvres les relations de l’homme à son environnement, à travers le prisme du rapport entretenu à l’image. Elle crée dans ses séries des itinéraires, à l’intérieur de lieux connus ou communs, qui interrogent tant l’imaginaire collectif que notre lien plus personnel à l’image. Volens nolens le travail de Corinne Vionnet conte ainsi des histoires mais plus encore questionne la manière dont les images transforment notre regard sur le monde. La forte densité des œuvres de l’artiste pousse à s’interroger sur le hors champ. Un hors champ qui serait constitué de ce qui n’est pas, ou n’est plus, mais aussi de ce qui aurait pu, ce qui aurait dû figurer sur l’image. Corinne Vionnet destitue en fait les évidences. Tout en suscitant l’introspection, ses œuvres interrogent l’image comme vecteur d’une réalité sociale, politique ou économique. Diane Antille (extrait), 2013 |
