Sophie Blet

Born in 1985

Lives and works in Marseilles

Sophie Blet’s works present themselves as thresholds, in-betweens, places of latent potentials, exploring the point at which possibilities branch off. Her installations, sculptures, publications and texts fuel an indeterminacy that welcomes multitude. Forms remain silent as if to allow all the words to surface. Nothing unfurls to its full extent, everything is shown with restraint in order to leave room for interpretations (in the musical sense), and some “mutable” installations can be modulated from one appearance to the next. It is a matter of infra-thinness and of the attention one might pay to the folds in a piece of fabric, to the layers of materials or to the tension of a line. “Like a world that is identical to the world, but in this case empty, in this case hollow”, the artist writes in one of her texts. Sophie Blet is interested in what lies out of range of reality, in a dormant, invisible alterity, and in doing so invites us to also reconsider our relation to time.
