A beautiful night of family and friends for the opening on Selly Sy ‘Au Fil du Lin’.
Selly Sy presents ‘Au Fil du Lin’, a series of staged photographs conceived as a unified body of work. Drawing from the different worlds that have shaped the artist, the series revives cultural traditions and reshapes them into contemporary, personal expressions.
Lace serves as both the thematic and visual thread connecting the work, a textile rooted in Sy’s earliest memories, a cherished traditional craft from her mother’s region in Normandy, and an ornament that evokes femininity, tradition, and the evolving experience of womanhood. By combining photography with fabric, Sy recalls the collages and layered magazine imagery she was drawn to as a child. The resulting works feel expansive and tactile, transforming photographs into dimensional objects intended to be experienced within an exhibition space rather than as flat images alone.
