« It is by piercing through the mirror of appearances that Valerie Zsvej suggests a convergence between the visible and invisible part of self.

An unbridled and perverse sequence whose utmost goal is that of thrusting the being ever further, akin to a slow yet thundering ejaculation, is what the artist offers us -- consuming all space until the world no longer suffices to satisfy her desire for elevation. Through this frenzied dance of the self, she shatters the realm of appearances in a bid to carve the ideal being. »
