J'arrive à la ville
Moi aussi…
Moi aussi
J’arrive à la ville
Pour y verser
Ma vie
Je monte la rue
Comme un géant
Ça c’est la ville
Et ça…
C’est ma vie
Moi aussi…
Moi aussi
J’arrive en fuyant
Je suis encore
Loin devant
Si la ville me cache
On ne me trouvera pas
Je ne [...]

C'est l'histoire d'une absence d'amour dont l'énergie sombre
dépasse tous les coups de poings.
Dans cet espace anti-matière de l'A-namour la victime trouve refuge.
L’enfant mal traité, rêve son parent "aimant imaginaire", alors qu’il aime déjà,
sans bornes, son parent réel déficient et nocif.

There has been a shambles, a shipwreck in my family.
I'm the little survivor, an unexpected seed which grew up badly.
Some people say: "I'm a warrior, nothing will be left after me!"
As an anorexic girl I would rather say: "After the shambles you made, would it be possible for me to develop,
but I would try."
All my [...]

As a photographer and as an anorexic woman photographer,
I've always used expressionists ways, and border-line ways to express myself with my photographs since 1977.
I didn't choose the easy way, the aseptic way, the fashion way to tell the implacable illness I had to deal with,
and the exceptional [...]

I've suffered from anorexia from the age of 7.
Honestly without anorexia, I wouldn’t be here anymore, as this illness kept me alive instead
of regressing to a quicker death.
It was a sort of survival behaviour and not a lifestyle as it said in a number of anti-ana magazines.
The question is [...]

Jane Doe 522 UFGA
She might be my Mama.
I would have preferred to get her as a Mum, as mine was the opposite of jane DOE:
a predictable conventional person in a predictable well-ordered life
with predictable behaviours and common thoughts, and with this addictive faith
in mortal fear about different unpredictable people.
I would love her so much. Because [...]

Elle marche dans cette plaine tranchée par la nationale.
Parfois elle rejoint la route, en grimpant les tâlus et sautant péniblement les fossés.
La boue, partout, çà colle aux godasses et Jane manque de s’enfoncer dans cette saloperie.
La vie ralentit de plus en plus.
Le jeu consiste en ce que [...]

An abusive man …
shouts
sulks
smashes things
glares
calls you names
makes you feel ugly and useless
cuts you off from your friends
stops you working
never admits he is wrong
blames you, drugs, drink, stress etc.
turns the children against you
uses the children to control you
never does his share of the housework
never looks after the children
expects sex on demand
controls the money
threatens or wheedles [...]

Jane Doe still lives amongst us all.
She won’t give up.
I know she’s a recurrent white wave, she continues to die in hidden places in States, cities, roads, cornfields,
rivers, lakes, black holes, sordid ditches, forgotten cabins in neglected woods and forests.
She always haunts us.
I think about her. She already crossed the line.
She was born to be [...]

As I used to work a long time on forensic descriptions of cold cases, for my Artwork, I was thinking about to draw my interest to another REAL subject:
"The Fox chewing off its paw to escape from a trap."
Honestly, after knowing the brutal end of Jane DOE and John DOE, I was expecting nothing can [...]

As Alain Bashung died on 14th of March 2009, It’s time for me to offer an Artwork to him.
After The death of Alain Bashung, I’ve been angry, and lost.
I made a series of pictures for him:"Le pieu dans le coeur". These followings are two of them.

If somedy had told me I would be abused, I would have laughed in his face.
I grew up in a french wealthy family. Some troubles had disturbed my childhood,
there was a black hole in the middle of my mind.

Posons la question de ce couple signifiant/signifié et de ce qu'ils font ensemble.
Le signifié est élu de manière arbitraire, entendue des membres de la communauté.
Le signifiant, lui, est plus glauque car il peut revêtir d'autres signifiés.
On pourrait le comparer à un vêtement.
Le signifié serait le corps.
Si je replonge dans l'histoire de l'anorexique, je peux [...]

"Julie". copyright Alice ODILON 1999.
Parce que le Moi ne peut-être qu’une image ritualisée dans le regard de l’Autre,
il ne peut se soutenir que par l’Autre et sa reconnaissance.
Quand l’anorexique advient à son nouveau corps, elle provoque dans le regard de l’Autre
une image signe radicalement différente du passé :
- une figure nouvelle, ajustée, énigmatique et "sauvage".
Cette figure nouvelle [...]

La figure X joue le signifiant et le signifié superposés, confondus, fusionnés.
Absence totale de symbolisation dans l’échafaudage psychique de l’enfant anorexique.
La jeune anorexique incarne le mal qu’elle rejète.
Elle doit le montrer pour l’exorciser.
Elle manque l’étape de la parole élaborée, détachée du corps.
Elle se joue maux (mot), maudite, (mots dits), barrant par sa forme [...]

“Mon Âme brisée en mille morceaux.” Copyright Alice ODILON 2008.
I will be anorexic all my life. Even I’m safe now because of mixed symptoms
(anorexia-bulimia emerged after a long episode of “pure” anorexia),
I can say I will be always confused with Love, life and food.

It’s inside, something will never born.
But curiosly I’m thoroughly alive, [...]

Le cri de l’hirondelle balaye la voix de ma Mère.
Maintenant je me souviens…… dans cette chambre d’enfant,
couchée à 7 heures du soir,
je me souviens du chant des martinets dans l’espace, autour de l’immeuble.
Je n’arrivais pas à dormir, il faisait encore jour, c’était l’été.
Les Martinets écrivaient dans le ciel les mots tus: [...]

Portrait de jeune femme par Gustav Klimt.
"Grand Manteau Issey Miyake". copyright Alice ODILON 2001.
Dans cette image le ventre et la vue font écho.
Voir pour survivre, voir au lieu de manger, voir au lieu de mourir. voir pour tuer.
C’est un grand “NON” adressé sans faux-semblant, littéralement corporel, scopique, logorrhéique.
Les anorexiques refuseraient le suspicieux [...]
