Sans titre (visage et drapeaux) . 2006
The line is the primary formulation in the imaginary of Anne-Marie Schneider (Chauny, France, 1962), in which autobiographical activity also has a strong presence. The line refers to gestural writing and gives shape to the enigmatic world of personages whose bodies are often taken apart and fitted back together in fragments, prolonged in domestic space and projected on to the landscape. Schneider’s fascination with everyday situations and banal objects reveals a certain degree of explicit violence in her lines; fable, satire, black humour and absurdity comprise highly personal work, whereby improvisation inhabits the same space as a precise and calculated form of expression.
