«Fallimagini»: «image makers» or more precisely the manufacturers of effigies or ex-voto wax in the 13th century in Italy. Behind this term, the pieces presented are all replicas of works or artifacts related to different models and other women who have disappeared from the history of art, from Marie-Madeleine to the Unknown of the Seine, the Ophélia de Millais and Agnès Sorel. So many bodies, so many diffracted fragments that act as iconic landmarks and directly echo a series of sentimental geographies also presented in the exhibition. A new cartography of the artist’s work then appears, resolutely personal and anachronistic, in which each component relates, in reaction to the other.
