This artwork staged women hidden in a forest of hair, this material soft, full of
intimate fragrance which can be the symbol of Magritte’s concept named: “le
caché suggéré” ( "suggested invisible"). Magritte's work frequently displays a
collection of ordinary objects in an unusual context, giving new meanings to
familiar things. Here we explore how the use of object is typified in the
concept : La trahison des images (The Treachery of Images ).
Inspired by 3 paintings of Magritte : Pan de Nuit (Peacock Moth) 1965 – Le
viol (The Rape) 1948 - Moralité du Sommeil (Morality of Sleep) 1941
Music creation inspired by Claude Debussy, Morton Feldman, Guillaume de
Machaut
