"WORKING ON SELF-PORTRAIT"
Marina Boissel - Cultural

ENVISAGEurope Press Conference
Alcazar Town Library- Marseille - 2006
"Self-portrait is one of the emblematic figures of art history. From
time immemorial, the artists have tried to explore their image in
different ways. Sculptures, paintings, and modellings have witnessed
the interest taken in that discipline. Becoming a self-spectator has a
cathartic effect. What is important is not the likeness but the
creator's intention. Only saying to oneself: 'i'm going to represent
myself' is enough to actuate the cathartic process. Moreover, this
image acts as a transitional object as it stands between the self and
the world and tries to give an answer to the question 'who am I? 'am I
this that I can see?' and reciprocally, 'is the world really what I can
see of it?'. Sometimes, the resemblance between image and reality
brings out distortions. These dissimilarities come from a subjective
realm made up of history, ideas, interpretations, and of one's relation
to one's self and to the world - so many different elements, so many
milestones on the road of knowledge. Sometimes, distortion prevails on
perception, then, mystery deepens, strangeness stands out and the work
of art pushes away the frontiers of the self, the look, and the other.
All the ambiguity lies in the notion of the mask both being and not
being oneself. ENVISAGE- Autoportaits rises those issues and aims at
discussing them with others such as physically and sensorily disabled
young people or young people with difficulties. Because only the
children and the young still have that ability to keep their eyes wide
open. "
