During her work stay, Emmanuelle Quertain started researching the experimental possibilities offered by both the RISO and laser machines. These experiments have been carried out with the aim of transcending the painting through the use of a photocopier, offering an aesthetic proposal on the dissolution of a visual or literal language with the help of dictionary sheets.
In addition, Emmanuelle Quertain started a reflection on ‘women’s questions’ following the discovery of the eponymous work by Jef Geys from the 1960s. She also realized a large number of images on newsprint, which will form the basis for an advertising brochure. All projects started during the residency will take the form of various independent publications, including one in collaboration with the Frans Masereel Centrum.
