The first part, at gallery Paris Project Room (artist run gallery), is an images environment called "Poetico-speculative sphere" based on a 800 photographs bank, organised along the walls of the entire space, with a soundtrack realised in collaboration with the electronic musician Jimmy T.
The second fold is a photographic installation/performance, called "Volatile", made out of a selection of images from the Poetico-speculative sphere, and will be exhibited in the window of Colette, the most fashionnable shop in Paris. Everyday, the artist will come and modifiy the modulary and instable installation, as the ever recomposing process that is so symptomatic of fashion's temporality.
Then, the third hand of the project, also extracted from the Poetico-speculative sphere, is a story of photos shown in Magazine, a free international magazine dedicated to international art and fashion press news.

The three volets of the project are thus based on the same image bank that RBW sampled in a 3 months period (summer 2000), as she regularly does in her creation laboratory, The Little Industry of the Sensor-Image. This laboratory is the frame in which she organizes her living and continuous art practise, as a "company dedicated to art".

This series of artwork is about exploring the second time of the image, not the one of the photographic capture, but rather its echo, the ambiguous moment were the photograph becomes an abstract figure as a music sample or a fabric pattern, a resonance wave at variable modulated frequency, through which the spectator enters a paradoxal and autonomous sphere.
The implicite volatility of those variable tempo(ralitie)s, lets live together both the idea of a take off toward a mathematical hereafter, as much as the one of a fall, as a call for aesthetic discernment and vision.
The Poetico-speculative sphere  defines a context of potential varability, with complexe and sometime frivolous or occult parameters; fruit of this context, Volatile is an unstable incarnation that generate a new poetic yield for each temporary posture; while the series of photos in Magazine highlights one of the numerous potential scenarii intrinsic of the volatile and voluble sphere.

In phase with the research of the philosopher Jean-Joseph Goux with who she shares a regular dialogue, RBW explores in the Little Industry of the Sensor-Image, what she calls the "Value-Image", emerging from the aesthetic inter-relation, according to time and contexts. Thanks to her past experience working on Capital Markets, she creates a parallele  between the image sphere, the one of economic sign,  and also language : images, words and economic values stand as three systems of abstraction of reality, whose autonomous life in return participates of reality.

Raphaële Bidault-Waddington is 30 yrs old, lives and works in Paris.  Ex-financial markets operator, ex- consultant for the french artist Fabrice Hybert, she regulary exhibits in Paris, like at the French Institute of Architecture in April 2001.
