Élisabeth Ballet's exhibition at Le Grand Café in Saint-Nazaire, France, from February 8 to April 22, 2007, marks a decisive step in her career. The show, titled 'Sept Pièces faciles,' presents works that balance formal rigor with sensation and unpredictability. Key pieces include 'Flash,' an aluminum scaffold-ladder piercing the ceiling, and 'Eyeliner,' a rubber road. The upper floor features synesthetic works like 'Petite Dépression' and 'Eye Shadow.'
