The work of Cécile Belmont is composed of various activities that influence each other
and create a particular dynamic. The embroideries, the cut-paper installations, the
clothing and the urban interventions act as locations for action that widen the possible
dissemination of her images, placing them in different contexts and relationships to the
audience – from the street into the gallery and from the gallery on to the street.

By using simple means and techniques, her work asserts itself as a space where the
fragile intensity of the human – with its emotions, desires, relationship with the others
and with reality – is put back into the center of thought.

By confronting the individual and the collective, she questions how to speak about the
world through intimacy and how this intimacy receives the deflagrations of the external
world.

Resolutely inscribed in the reality which surrounds it – the wall, the street – her work
proposes an appropriation of public space and everyday life as a place for self-expression
and encounter with the other.
