The videos,
photographs, sculptures, and installations of Virginie Yassef reveal the
poetry of everyday life, emphasizing the subtle gap between perception
and reality. In her universe, the strange, sometimes even the supernatural,
always surface where least expected.
Ms. Yassef’s project, Alloy, will be the central piece of this
exhibition when she brings her work to the FIAF gallery, as part of Crossing
the Line. Also, Ms. Yassef will create a new site-specific piece to
be presented at this exhibition.
Currently, Ms. Yassef is represented by the Georges-Philippe & Nathalie
Vallois Gallery in Paris, where she recently held a
private exhibition. Her work has been shown at the Jeu de Paume and the
Modern Art Museum in Paris, among others. In 2006, a jury led by CulturesFrance,
selected Ms. Yassef to participate in Location One’s residency program
in New York.
