Original visual of the exhibition "Imagine Van Gogh" printed and dedicated by Annabelle Mauger "The work made from a digital interpretation of Lincoln's face, appeared to me as presenting in an innovative way the concept of double images according to the perspective. This is one of the strong characteristics of the total image, which allows everyone to enter the image while giving, depending on the axis of vision, another, more distant perspective. In order to interpret this work, I wanted to make up the poster with numerous details of Van Gogh's paintings forming "Self-portrait with felt hat" from afar. In order to avoid any misunderstanding of Vincent's original work, the portrait is inverted, thus respecting the orientation of Dalí's portrait and dissociating itself from that of Van Gogh. Dalí was largely inspired by the work of Leon Harmon. In 1973, this scientist had created a computer portrait of pixels from this lithograph by Lincoln to test the perception of the human eye. Thus the Van Gogh exhibition marked a revolution in the creation of the immersive exhibitions of Cathedral of Images, I definitively left the projection of images in slides deeply marking the stone of the quarries which seemed pigmented, for a more luminous but pixelated valorization of the digital. Since 2007 the exhibition has travelled a lot, has been widely modified, adapted and embellished. But I will treasure this visual projected in the exhibition, so that it will forever bear witness to having been the first totally digital exhibition ever made. To bequeath this little piece of me to the association "Agir pour le cœur des femmes" is not insignificant. The professional life that I have chosen can also be a source of guilt that takes its toll on my body: I smoke, I juggle elastic schedules to be a woman, a single mother, a director, a businesswoman, etc. The perfect woman does not exist. The perfect woman does not exist. But we can still take care of ourselves and help other women do the same." - Annabelle Mauger
