Past Present Future Featuring Marion Sagon

Marion Sagon is an artist from France born in 1983, living and working in London. Her practice varies between digital drawings and photography. Her installations are as much as virtual or poetic but yet generic and geometric expresses spaces and landscapes with a peculiar use of perspectives and scales. She is also a big collector of images found online. Her collection is  punctually shown when she decides, by oversizing one of her  discoveries now floating in the space of the gallery like a piece brought back from the virtual world.

PAST

We - dystopian novel by Yevgeny Zamyatin ,1921.

 The way of D-503 speaks in numbers and geometric formulas plus the way the author plays with oxymorons on the titles : The Wisest of Lines, The delimiting of infinity, A two-dimensional shadow, Logical Jungles, The material of an idea, The cliff of Zero, The dissolution of a Crystal, The Frozen wave, The Delimiting of Infinity, Logical Jungles, The Material of an idea, The Ice Swells, The Dissolution of a Crystal is a perfect source of  inspiration. Poetic and enigmatic. This book is an important reference for my work.

PRESENT
I am actually working on a series of digital pictures titled Between the Space. This work comes as a result of the experimentation of countless possibilities of composition offered by a considered space. Working and testing for hours to find a perfect balance, a floating effect of a volume composition, I am following the ideas that emerge or cross over my evolution. Subsequently, the picture will be transformed by a digital procedure. The work is usually presenting as part of an installation.
