Artist Statement
Aurore Dal Mas
Is Belgo-Italian artist with a Master's in Photography from La Cambre (Brussels, BE) in 2005.
Her work takes as its focus movement that can not be expressed in words,, natural forces, desire, relationships and self-portraits. Ever since she started, Aurore has been developing and diversifying her photographic practice and is now combining it with writing, video and installation. She showed her recent work, inspired by film, painting as well as work on her voice at the Museum of Photography of Charleroi (BE), Festival Circulation(s) in Paris and WaterTowerArtFest in Sofia (BG).
Aurore Dal Mas’ work often appears tactile, in its approach as in its execution, removed from from daily concerns and time. . Shrouded in shadow, it seems to question human nature. Aurore's work has its own grammar, which declines to give too many answers or to affirm anything too clearly , but prefers to attract the viewer in order to better evade, to penetrate the mind in order to better infuse it.
French version//
Son travail se focalise sur les mouvements indicibles, les forces naturelles, les relations de désir et l’autoportrait.
Depuis toujours, elle diversifie sa pratique et explore la photographie, l’écriture, la vidéo et l’installation.
Son travail est nourri par le cinéma, la lecture et ses expériences en travail de la voix et énergétique.
Le travail d’Aurore Dal Mas apparait souvent tactile, dans son approche comme dans sa faction, dégagé du quotidien et des heures, clôturé par des ombres, questionnnant sans fin la nature humaine. Une grammaire personnelle inquiète et sensuelle, qui se garde de donner trop de réponses ou d’affirmer franchement, préférant attirer pour mieux se dérober, pénétrer pour mieux infuser.
Lives and works in Brussels (B)
She showed her work in Musée de la Photographie de Charleroi (B), Oodaaq festival (FR), Water Tower Art Fest (BG) or Festival Circulations in Paris.
The work of Belgian-Italian Aurore Dal Mas focuses on wordless physicality, natural forces, desire and self-portraits. She’s influenced by cinema, reading, painting and her personal experience of voice work. Her photographs often appear tactile, both in vision and execution, free from diurnal concerns and imbued with questions about what it is to be human. Dal Mas’ work has its own sensitive grammar, hesitant to give away too much, drawing the viewer in on the one hand and evading interpretation on the other.
