Marylène Negro’s works often bring about a face to face, either two solitudes or two creatures so totally different that nothing but their physical position can point to a relation between them. More often, what one sees is a sound or visual representation that the film contemplates, not to understand it but to represent it from its limitlessness, until it provokes a sweet vertigo. For Marylène Negro, the image represents an area of intercession that defuses the potential violence of a meeting, keeping only the qualities of attention, vigor and benevolence, prerequisites to a possible exchange. The image enables apprehension without prehension. (Nicole Brenez)
