Laetitia Boulud’s solo exhibition – Preserving the Mundane, Keep it Casual – a site specific installation that presents an inquiring look at sensitiveness via the “sliding mechanism”.

Boulud preoccupation with contemplating the actions of dismantling, fusion and reassembly, as a way of dissecting the soul’s states of matter, provides room for the questions through which the artist seeks to dismiss prejudices and mixed emotions in the face of polarity. The artist marks reality as containing the intangible and uses photography as an auxiliary force when she subverts the photographic action in the reproduction processes of the raw material, and examines its effect on the act of making art.

Obliterating the original purpose of the material and using it as a fluctuating quality, produces works that express the work processes as a macro.

In her work, Boulud refers to a bird's eye view as representing a focal-point that enables mundane preservation. Keep it Casual, is the internal solution to coping.

Emotional changes, and global political affairs both affect the day to day, which requires an in-depth study of every aspect in order to reach objective understanding. Something whose end, or whose beginning, is unattainable. Trial and error, food for thought. 

Assembly and Disassembly, testing and changing orders reveal contradictory-concealed polarities.

The subject matter of the oeuvres derives from personal history along with questionable memories and impressions. The story makes sense as from the moment bipolar is named. The diagnosis becomes a distinction, an understanding.

From states of mental bipolarity, emerge complex intermediate states and acute and fleeting clarity. The senses of sight, hearing and touch require re-examination to which Boulud attributes an amorphous structurallity.

In mechanics of sliding, pouring of liquid emulsions on a film that was tear open, broken into raw material, Boulud motivates a continuous engagement with disassembly and reassembly in order to create something else, new, that exists independently. Constructing a reality ex-nihilo from distinction of diagnosis.

The artist examines her repeated actions in an internal investigation. Where the signifier of the "good" is the innocence and the basis that has not yet assimilated external effects to itself.

Boulud deals with global and personal questions in a reflexive process. The work is intuitive and the answers are not unequivocal, but give answers that vary according to the subtleties of the moment the visitor experiences when facing the work of art.

Refractions of light through a complex glass structure, the guts of a piano stand vertically in space, as if the strings awaiting to be plucked by the visitor. The sound and the raw materials, which were formed into alternative objects, take on the meaning of what occurs    in bipolarity, and the creation of order within the chaos is called for.

The wellhouse space is complementary to the installation. The gallery floor, which is mostly covered in black, sharpens the artist’s proposal to look at what is exposed - The floor windows towards the empty well which remained under the building, and the water passages where only a memory of the current remains.
