Nicole Franchy’s artistic practice is based on – and embedded in – the increasing mobility of people, objects and ideas. Using images related to history, memory and travel, she meticulously composes collages, installations and video installations that investigate how societies are shaped by physical and virtual movements on both a global and a local scale. Moving between archival and fictive representations, her work confronts parallel realities and explores the liminal space of boundaries and frontiers. As such, it projects associative landscapes and impossible panoramas that propose a new geography; one that is critical and that challenges us to re-map our own coordinates.
