And discuss again the influence of Georges Perec, which she reads and rereads the work regularly. "I do not understand all the layers of his work, but he is a writer who talks a lot to people who, like me, work in a visual world. Thanks to its precise and searched meaning of the description, it is as if one could touch it evokes with words. " Result: rusty scrap pieces, playing cards, debris taillight of a car, all the remains of a battered past are found, especially not cleaned, but scanned, archived with appropriate captions in The Accidental Fold, the self-published book - "to be free" - that Saskia de Brauw present at the Yvon Lambert Gallery bookshop January 28. A kind of visual diary it supplies parallel his modeling career, taken up to 29 years to supplement his income as an artist, often difficult.
