Born in Arras, Pascale Rémita lives and works in Orly.
Her artistic practice is driven by a steadfast desire to understand the world and to grasp its depth by delving into the heart of its active medium: the image. Thus, the artist works from personal iconographic sources—whether filmed or drawn from the media—which she manipulates through painting, video, charcoal, and installation. By moving geographically, physically, or virtually, Pascale Rémita explores the gap between what her eye sees, what it recognizes, and what it does not quite identify. She watches for that moment when reality wavers and slips beyond the visible. She treats landscape as a construction of the gaze and territory as a space imbued with subjective memory—whether lived or imagined.
The artist treats optical phenomena as pure visual stimuli. By playing on the ambivalence of textures and materials—whether painted, drawn, filmed, or physical—and by framing them out of context, the motif constantly eludes the viewer and shifts in a tense oscillation between the abstract and the figurative. These heterogeneous image materials engage in a dialogue through montage and superimposition to explore how a form continues to appear, vibrate, and resonate, even when it seems ready to fade away.
