Sophie Bélair Clément s’intéresse aux conditions de mise en exposition, aux informations retenues lors du processus de documentation ainsi qu'aux dissonances provenant des tentatives de reconstitutions. Ses propositions performatives et installatives, élaborées contextuellement avec la collaboration de travailleurs culturels et de musiciens, suggèrent une attention soutenue à l'espace immédiat et médiatisé. À la suite de l’invitation pour une exposition au Studio de Daïmon, elle s’est intéressée au contexte de la production. 

    Salut Sophie,

    Voici où j'en suis avec les données.
    J'ai fermé le compresseur à quelques reprises parce que quelqu'un travaillait du son...
    et je ne suis pas toujours à mon bureau, donc, j'en manque de temps en temps.

    à bientôt,

    Simon

Sophie Bélair Clément is interested in exhibition circumstances, the information obtained in the course of the documentation process and in the dissonances that derive from attempts at recreations. Her performances and installations, contextually developed in collaboration with cultural workers and musicians, suggest sustained attention to the immediate and mediated space. Following an invitation to exhibit her work in Daïmon's Studio, she became interested in the context of production. 

    Hi Sophie,

    Here is where I'm at with the data.
    I turned off the compressor a few times because someone was working on the sound . . .
    and I'm not always in my office, so sometimes I miss it.

    Talk to you soon,

    Simon
