Songes immobiles
“Maia Flore believes in the virtues of a photograph finally rid of raw reality. The real is only of interest when transfigured. With her person as a model, or rather as an acting subject, she enjoys staging improbable poetic and metaphorical situations. This photograph recalls Elizabethan poetry! The work is strongly impregnated with the characteristics of her anatomy, this long red hair, this skin so white, holding back and rejecting the exposure. This body is a bridge, a tree, an object. It merges with the world, it has a breath, like a tongue that wanders”.
Excerpt from François Cheval’s comments at the time of the 2015 HSBC Prize
