The pinhole photograph has been taken at the inner court of the Villa Kerylos at Beaulieu (near Nice, in the South of France). Villa Kerylos in Beaulieu-sur-Mer is a Greek-style property built in the early 1900s by French archaeologist Theodore Reinach, and his wife Fanny Kann, a daughter of Maximilien Kann and Betty Ephrussi, of the Ephrussi family. Madame Fanny Reinach was a cousin of Maurice Ephrussi, who was married to Béatrice de Rothschild. Inspired by the beauty of the Reinach's Villa Kerylos and the area they built the Villa Ephrussi de Rothschild at nearby Cap Ferrat. A Greek word, "Kerylos" means Halcyon or kingfisher which in Greek mythology was considered a bird of good omen. [1] Reinach admired the architecture, interior decoration and art of the ancient world and decided to recreate the atmosphere of a luxurious Greek villa in a new building. He purchased land surrounded on three sides by the sea on the tip of the Baie des Fourmis at Beaulieu-sur-Mer which he felt offered a location similar to that of coastal Greek temples. The title of the work refers to a poem written by the artist and published in her collection of poems The Art of War, languishing poems and other temporary ceasefires.

Iconic, eye-catching yet serene, high-quality artworks. Works of Brigitte Spiegeler are in various international private and company collections. Participated in the Venice Biennial 2017. https://artguide.artforum.com/artguide/marcia-wood-gallery-13486/dream-variations-231426 ‘Brigitte Spiegeler’s work is about an imaginary time, which exists only in our minds: a timeless, internal time. Like a memory: vague, with reappearing details (the memory is engraved in the present moment, but in the same time immensely distant and imperceptible (memories belongs to the past). The blue colour gives a different relation with the time: it is a modern time, with abstract forms, superimposed on a fixed past, a complement to what already existed.’ (Quote by Philip Peters in the publication ‘Byzantine Blue’)
