Born in 1986. Lives and works in Paris. Her work questions the notion of exhibition, across editions, photographs, videos, sculptures and installations, unveiling what lies behind creation and production. “Preferring imaginary solutions to tangible results, and side paths to routes already mapped out”, Alice Guittard also analyses her relationship to time, to the viewer and to collective memory. Her work questions the notion of exhibition by unveiling what lies behind creation and production, playing on spatio-temporal drift. For her, exhibition rhymes with expedition. Her desire to push back the limits of the exhibition by inventing each time another format, another language, is for her a way of giving rise to surprising analogies in the observer. It is through editions, photographs, videos, sculptures and experiments that Alice Guittard drifts from story to story, revealing in fragments the elements that make up her research. In her installations, the visitor then becomes an actor in a framed yet unlimited reality. Drifting through the space, he becomes the narrator of a scenario yet to come. Moreover, her installations are never the culmination of a project, but merely a stage. Projects extend, are told, are shared, stop, then resume. Mathilde Villeneuve
