Emily Geirnaert is an analog collage artist based in Paris. She uses discarded fragments of the past and present, which are reimagined in accidental or deliberate juxtapositions to create new images – surreal worlds inhabited by exciting new possibilities. Cut or torn imagery and paper are juxtaposed, sometimes layered, and reassembled. The underlying theme of her work explores and references memory and dreams. How memories are stored over time, how they can surface at any given, random moment, and how they are lost (some temporarily) or become fragmented often into smaller memories. A collage can begin with a specific idea or theme or be triggered in response to the imagery that catches her eye.
