A monograph on work that stands at the crossroads of drawing, the still image and installation. From 2000 Bertrand Flachot took advantage of digital tools: drawing on a graphics tablet gave him an unsuspected freedom of movement, and that computer-assisted method, joined to a digital practice of the image, let him develop work that combines all three.

He produces an image in which the line matters and is gradually transformed into a moving, expansive weave. This endless gesture is the expression of a form of drawing whose only motive is its own wandering, beyond every possible support, in a continuum like a whisper that does not end, similar to life. Today that graphic wandering comes closer and closer to a form of writing, reconnecting with the artist's desire to write, and leans on literary references such as Robert Walser's Territory of the Pencil.
