After studying African philosophy, Keren Lasme’s artistic work focuses on ideas, thoughts and states of mind, mostly related to the material and immaterial contexts of the African continent’s cultures.
The artist attempts to visually re-transcribe a deep exploration of the self and of the inner landscapes specific to each person through photography, collage, drawing, video or writing. Her work shows what we do not see, what transcends the purely visual aspect. She highlights the beauty and mystery of these fragments or details of the invisible that spring up beyond the representation of the subject itself as coming from the perception of the mind.
Keren Lasme began digital collage during the lockdown period, for lack of experimenting photography, by using images fragments that she finds during her researches on the internet without precise goal.
By associating them, she creates sets that evoke to everyone many stories and references that the subconscious miraculously translates For the artist, digital collage is an exploration of the subconscious, randomly selecting images and combining them to create enigmatic ensembles that stimulate the mind, mysteriously always finding meaning in them.
