Dominique Vermeesch (do.space) works and develops his questions through notation-drawing-phonics, photography, video including his own body, particularly during performances which offer the opportunity for a mystical encounter with these waves that she watches, with this body as a place of inscription of the world, of history. Troubled body vector of its work but not in a fixed way, like a tattoo, but via sound-tactile waves as a transient vibration. Her questions are in fact at the center of the vast network of works, links and meanings that she sets up. His work, called "contact language", must be approached as a whole, in continual expansion, in systematic questioning. In addition to her creation of drawings, her art is based on classification, archival work that she uses today in her own way, exploring the history and philosophy of the themes that are dear to her, mixing existing documents with her works, constructing in this way a world of dialogues of texts, sounds and images, from different eras, from different cultures. We come across Hannah Arendt, Patti Smith, Simone Weil, Donna Haraway, as well as images of the cosmos and everything relating to creation, the body, and all their mythologies. François Delvoye
