STÉPHANIE SAADÉ’S WORKS TAKE AS A DEPARTURE POINT THE MOMENT WHEN ONE BECOMES ESTRANGED FROM HIS SURROUNDINGS. THE ARTIST
EXPLORES THE SHAPE, OR THE SHAPES OF DISTANCE, AND MAKES THEM VISIBLE, AS WELL AS THE CHANGES IN SHAPE OF THE INDIVIDUAL THAT GOES
THROUGH THIS ESTRANGEMENT. A PROCESS OF ARTIFICIAL NOSTALGIA IS DEVELOPED, THROUGH WHICH STRANGE LOCATIONS ARE ASSEMBLED AND
BECOME FAMILIAR. THE NATURE OF LINKS IS QUESTIONED, THEIR PERSISTENCE OR THEIR EPHEMERALITY. THE CREATED KNOTS AND TIES FORM PAIRS,
WHICH NEVER BECOME DOUBLES. SINGLE OBJECTS ARE COMPOSED FROM DIFFERENCES BROUGHT TOGETHER.
