Taking formal cues from the optical illusions and landscapes of pre-cinematic entertainment, Christine Rebet explores how these devices find echoes in contemporary politics and media. While her practice is anchored in drawing, it extends to installation, performance, and animation, where she addresses historical trauma through personal reinterpretation. Her colorful, fluid style unravels troubling apparitions, weaving together fantasy and critique. Her hand-drawn animations unfold like dreamscapes in which the absurd and uncanny reveal deeper truths about displacement, memory, and collective imagination. Often expanding into immersive installations, they combine sound, drawing, and projection to blur the lines between reality and fiction. Rebet’s work draws on traditions of magic, theater, and ritual while confronting the fragility of human experience in the face of violence and transformation. By foregrounding process and craft, she highlights the tension between illusion and materiality, intimacy and spectacle. Through these strategies, Rebet creates poetic yet unsettling worlds that invite viewers to engage with hidden histories and psychological landscapes, offering spaces where memory and fantasy converge in powerful, emotionally resonant ways. ...
