This book is a meeting between a visual artist and two art critics, longtime friends, who are used to writing with four hands. The book deepens the discovery of La Perrière M.’s work by exploring in an open and poetic way the shared writing and images. Covering more than a decade of Véronique La Perrière M.’s drawing practice and her research through other mediums such as video and photography, Claire Caland and Émilie Granjon wanted to trace an invitation to travel. Here, words dialogue with the artist’s creative trajectory, open up avenues of reflection and create links with the worlds of literature, mythology and art history.

Taking a form that is more rhizomatic than linear, the reader is invited to browse through this book, in order or in disorder, surveying three territories of thought. Intertwining the chronology of production of the works, the triptych “Mirrors”, “Metamorphosis”, and “Worlds” weave webs of associations. Through the journey of words towards the artwork, the reader is invited to enter the delicate and surreal universe of the artist.
