Near Life Experience est une recherche sur différents états du corps liés à des sensations intermédiaires. Ces états affleurent lorsque l’on aborde des zones situées au bord de l’existence, accessibles dans les moments d’évanouissement, lors d’une transe, dans un instant d’extase ou d’orgasme. La notion de ravissement, définissant à la fois une sensation lumineuse et le rapt de l’individu, s’y apparente aussi, le sujet s’absente, il est enlevé à lui-même, il est ravi. Near Life Experience évoque cela, une tentative de soustraction au temps et à l’espace, une sorte d’éclipse du moi et cherche à travers cet amnios imaginaire, une nouvelle écriture en creux du corps.

Near Life Experience is a
quest into different states of the body,
states which relate to intermediary sensations. We verge on these states when we near zones which hover on the edge of existence, to which we have access in moments of fainting, during a trance, in the instant of ecstasy, or orgasm. The notion of both rapture and ravishment, of both intensely luminous sensation and the carrying off of the individual, comes close to this experience. The subject is elsewhere, carried off from himself, he is ravished. Near Life Experience evokes all
of this, an attempt to remove oneself from space and time. A sort of eclipse of the self, a quest through this imaginary amnios — a new expression in the space left by the body.
