Le Quart d'Heure Américain
France
2018
Side by side, two bodies, intertwined. To Billie Thomassin, there is only one unique shape continually changing. She immortalises this abstract combination, the position of a silhouette formed by this association. The intimacy of an embrace cannot be entered. The artist built her work around this statement, and wants us to see the embrace like a sculpture. The bodies become an abstract composition meant to be observed. Time stopped, the bodies seem to have disappeared and the faces are never shown.
