"That's what Déroulement is all about: taking action over time to find the fixed source that allows movement to exist. "
Judit Reigl - Interview with Jean-Paul Ameline for Art in America magazine, April 2009.

‘First phase - I spread a thin cotton ball (240 cm wide) from one corner of the studio, stapling only the top, over the blocks - of varying thickness and inclination - formed by my old paintings leaning against the wall. The whole length of the studio will be covered in this way, the different planes - advanced or recessed - and the void between the groups of scattered paintings. A section of wall too, and then the door - on the latter, the fabric hangs vertically. Here is an uninterrupted white path that runs, bypasses, changes direction at the corner of the studio, straddles obstacles, passes both in front of and behind me, finally stopping only for lack of space.

Second phase - I turn on the radio, find some music, not as a stimulant or inspiration, but to broaden the limitation of my movements and gestures, by attuning them - physically - to an external requirement. I also set myself in motion, touching, punctuating and brushing the canvas with a brush dipped in glycerophtalic paint. I capture and emit snippets (neither form, nor writing, nor line) horizontally, from one undulating advance to the next. Starting at the top, from left to right, first stretching out, then filling the field, more and more curved. Never ceasing to modulate the frequency of the music to my body rhythm and/or my body rhythm to the frequency of the music. If the music stops, I stop; if it changes, I continue - discontinuously - until the inscription, totally decoded, invades all the available space (leaving voids only where the pictorial field has no support behind it, or where silence cuts it, or the angle, the projections break it).’

Other works from this series can be found nowadays in museum collections, notably that of the Centre Pompidou in Paris.
