Zabo ChabilanD
CORPS EN SUSPENS
In 1895, Wilhem Röntgen serendipitously discovered X-rays.
From 1897, Antoine Béclère understood the benefit that medicine could derive from it.
Today traditional radiography is being supplanted by MRI and digital technologies.
This is the end of the cycle.
Zabo Chabiland's portfolio is based on a desire to go beyond the composition which refers to an immediate reality. Her work goes beyond the surface while using it, breaking existing benchmarks to give rise to new ones. Project the gaze beyond, towards the unlimited interior of what is represented on the surface. Here, the body is the camera obscura taken to its extreme. It detects the intimacy of being outside its representation, its facade. What is photographed could be associated with the soul.
