In a world marked by the loss of guidelines, Dominique Blain listens carefully to the present in the light of a perpetually documented past; she does so out of a personnal need to fathom the distance in time and space between the real and its representation, and because it provides her, as an individual and as an artist, a possible means of contemplating the ambivalences of humanness.
– Louise Déry, Monuments– Dominique Blain, 2004
