Martine Aballéa Born in 1950 in New York (USA). Lives and works in Paris (France). With its subtle blend of real elements, pseudo-science and intimate mythology, the Institut Liquéfiant provides an introduction to the world of verisimilitude, a "fluctuating zone of possibilities" in which the artist likes to locate her "stories". An improbable change of state of the human body constitutes the narrative flow of the work.
