Still Life Ensembles


In 1996, Wilson-Pajic acquired the use of an abandoned warehouse in Ferrières-en-Brie, a large, empty space with a skylight. She painted it white and, in an explosion of activity, realized a long series of ensembles of objects with texts, juxtaposing unlikely elements from the everyday environment with more esoteric ones to create evocative ensembles. After the warehouse was torn down in 1998, Wilson-Pajic continued this work in her studio in Nogent-sur-Marne.
