In this photographic collage by the French visual artist Frédérique Stern, a cut-out female figure stands amid a blooming field. Inside her silhouette, a black-and-white archival image reveals bodies in motion—faces that gaze and are gazed upon. The golden line framing the figure does more than define it; it keeps it open, as if holding a story in transit. The artist brings the collective gestures of the past into dialogue with the intimacy of the present, revealing how time resides within the body’s sensitive material.
