Papillon cerise

"An amused agitator, Sylvie Laliberté prefers to describe herself as ‘generous’ when someone pins the label ‘narcissist’ on her. True, a project like this demands a certain kind of inward-looking and communication with the other, a kind of investment of profligate economy of operation. And all that takes place with a ‘truly false’ offensive candour. ‘I record small, select moments. They are shot on the fly in the subject’s life. I am the subject. And I speak in a completely offhand manner. I capture floating moments on a fine volume of water’. ‘My work is unusual in this sense: it suits me. I can sing, strut about and say things: "A sitting woman, no matter where, is already that. It’s often elegant if you want to cross your legs. I cross them’". Sylvie Laliberté."
