Description: 'Dear Clay' gathers a selection of spreads extracted from Stéphanie Baechler's meticulous sketchbooks displayed in chronological order (2013-2019), as well as 35-mm photographs documenting her working process. Providing an intimate insight into her artistic practice, it reveals what facilitates the work from its conception to its making, transportation, and installation. Rather than presenting it as a final staged object, we see the work as something unpolished, unfinished, in flux. Activating this archive of images allows to search for what creates the identity of a work behind the surface of the conventional gallery presentation.
