THE MIRRORS CORRIDOR

Photography, neon, text and video are the preferred media used by Marie José Burki (1961, Switzerland). Using visual devices, her work focuses on creating constantly shifting relationships between static and moving images, which ceaselessly interrogate our perceptions of reality in a world saturated with images. 

The artist is drawn to images of waiting and idleness, the camera films languid bodies in the intimacy of a living room or a hotel room. Beyond an almost absent narrative, a description emerges which plays with pictorial and literary codes, questioning the relationship with the pose in the image, along with the concepts of duration, space and perception.
