Etymology is never a fool of the house. From its origin (phantazo) phantasma has retained the idea of making visible, of exposing to view, of showing, hence these notions of apparition, specter or ghost. We also find in the New Testament an occurrence of phantazo translated this time by the word spectacle. And so terrifying was this spectacle that Moses said: I am terrified and trembling (Epistle to the Hebrews, 12.24). In this respect all the apparitions which take shape here, by adopting contours, figures, colors, compose
a spectacle as captivating as it is disconcerting, to the point that the spectacle becomes a story, as if there could be narratives to draw, narratives of the very appearance, of which Chloé Poizat's compositions would write a few lines. A history of the forms, modes and materials of appearance, not as simple surfaces that would be only appearances or reflections, but as images of beings emerging from their most ancient origins, from their most distant depths.
