Through photography, installation, and visual experimentation, Michelle Aubert develops an artistic practice that questions the mechanisms of perception and the multiple layers of human experience. Her work is constructed in a space of tension between the real and the imaginary, where the image ceases to be a simple tool of representation and becomes a territory of projection, memory, and transformation.
By fragmenting, distorting, or reassembling everyday elements, the artist creates compositions that defy immediate interpretation. Familiar forms are transformed into mental landscapes, evocative architectures, or ambiguous presences that invite the viewer to slow down and construct their own narrative. The work does not seek to impose meaning, but rather to open a field of interpretation where each person can project their emotions, memories, and questions.
The series Pandemic Illusion , Senses , and Close but Far bear witness to this ongoing exploration of perception, inner transformation, and the connection between the individual and their environment. Whether she is exploring the emotional states revealed by isolation, long-distance relationships, or sensory memory, Michelle Aubert is interested in what usually remains invisible: sensations, intimate resonances, and the silent movements of consciousness.
Her work is rooted in a deeply introspective approach where the image becomes a tool for exploring the unconscious. Between photographic abstraction and immersive experience, her works invite us to rethink our way of seeing the world, revealing the fragile beauty hidden in the details, fragments, and interstices of reality.
