"C’est comme un poème, c’est à la façon d’un poème ; et de même que les mots du poème sont connus mais déplacés dans une langue altérée, les motifs de la peinture sont identifiés mais déportés sur une autre scène."

(Julien Boutonnier, Une fabrique des apparitions, au sujet de la peinture d'Iris Terdjiman)
