“The work of Pascal Bauer takes a lucid look at a world whose models, particularly male, are at least vacillating. It draws its force largely from the ‘mortal to illusions’ irony, and if it resorts to the self-portrait it is still with the irony that delivers ‘of the adoration of oneself’. Pascal Bauer willingly tackles stereotypes as well as our packaging through works whose purpose is usually nuanced by ‘humorous irony’: ‘she always humble to some degree; it is without bitterness and pacifies, by conciliatory mediation, the cruel antithesis of sarcasm’.”
(Raphaël Cuir)
