DEMORUMMET presents the video work

"Grossesse ethérique"

by Hélène Janet

19 March - 18 April, 2010

In a film consisting of five short video sequences lasting one minute each, the French artist Hélène Janet examines the fleeting image of a foetus - delineated here by the sun shining upon the artist's own stomach. By such means, she uses her own body as an integral element in the work of art, with the small unborn child being filmed in a rocking movement. The image is subjoined to the sound of wawes lapping, and accompanied by the voice of the artist humming and old Argentine lullaby "Atahualpa yupanqui" (sleep, sleep, my little black child). The work captures in fragile glimses the life and movement of a foetus inside the womb.

Hélène Janet was born in France in 1951. She has completed her art studies at the Licence d'Arts Plastiques and Maîtrise d'Esthétique et Sciences de l'Art, both in Paris. She now lives and works in New Caledonia, where she also runs a gallery (Galerie Lec Lec Tic).
