The practice of Noémie Degen and Simon Jaton, an artist duo based between Paris and Lausanne, is built around the production of a body of images chosen in a non-systematic way. In some cases, they work from sources taken from cinema, television or comics, then appropriate them through various pictorial processes. In others, the image is constructed through drawing or photography. Collage, painting and silkscreen are the tools with which they manipulate, arrange and recontextualize these visual fragments. These different processes are declined and superimposed to reveal or not their construction and origins. An internal dialogue therefore emerges within the corpus of images, weaving subjective links between different typologies of space, atmosphere and representation. These relationships, specific to each individual’s gaze, raise the question of the image’s autonomy as well as its interconnection with forms of visual archetypes. Through these formal games based on an evolving aesthetic language, Noémie Degen and Simon Jaton destabilize the binarity between form and content that prevails in our relationship with images.
