Paz Corona, Ulysse, c’est moi
Galerie Les filles du calvaire, Paris
Olivier Mosset got to know Paz Corona in 2011 when he invited her to exhibit her work with him at the Galerie des filles du calvaire. Paz Corona, who was then a psychoanalyst,
had only shown her work as a painter to close friends. That exhibition created a relation between large faces looming vertically and large white, horizontal monochromes. It was an occasion for a dialogue about painting, but it also revealed a writing by several voices. Paz Corona tells me that those faces had then been conveyed by a dream: her own face had appeared to her in a nighttime dream. Painting became the way for her to try and catch that mirage. Two years later, Paz Corona is back on her own on the gallery walls, this time with James Joyce acting has Ariadne’s thread, looking for an amorous epiphany. Here I re-create a discussion I had with the artist, one hot summer’s day.lb
