Flood / Fountain #1 2019
The notion of instability, a rupture that can occur at any time by the resistance of water or simply by the very fragility of ceramic are the primary parameters of the /Fountain # series. The flow, the fall, the overflow, the flood, all these notions which are an abstraction of control can manifest this inherent force which will always exceed us.

Series of functional disorders 2020
The Series of functional disorders aims to represent the potentialities of failure – thrills that arise from unfortunate events, loss of control and uncertainties. The error has an inherent aura of resistance in which resides the nuances, the mistakes, the flaws, all the things that define us as individuals. If we look at an object properly it is like the surface of a mirror: a reflection of ourselves as creators. Its imperfection is an analogy of our humanness.

On the drifts of a journey around the unfeasible, useless gestures and failures to come, the work of Lorie Ballage is a dedication to tragedy as a grand ideological narrative.
Her works can be perceived as utopian errors aiming to represent the potentialities of failure – thrills which results from unfortunate events, loss of control and uncertainty. The error has an inherent aura of resistance in which resides the nuances, the mistakes, the flaws, all the things that define us as individuals.
