1981 -1984 : Gallery "l'Aturiale" , Liége .Gallery " Detour " Jambes. Gallery "Miroir d’encre", Brussels. Nature and landscape will be the recurring theme of most of her life.
1985 : In situ installation: "Articulture" park and castle of Mariemont... Cyclical and ephemeral work using the support that is the grass, she installs lead rectangles on the lawns that will be multiplied and moved every 15 days, leaving ghost tracks. From time to time, we will find the insertion of lead in her work.
1988 : For the film "La Parabole de Hélicoptère", she paints on car bodies. Exhibition of photographs of selected pieces in Brussels, Lisbon, Paris (a video is created from this realization.)
1989 : Another in situ work was the basis for several years of painting work. "Ramp'Art" in the parc in Binche. Along the stream that runs through the parc of Paternotte, Nadine Fiévet has installed irregularly cut out mirrors, sometimes inserted into the edge of the stream, sometimes placed on the banks. The edge of the mirror cuts through the water, another mirror, the passage of time and the reflections create a magical and dreamy graphic dialogue from which will emerge: a series of paintings and acrylics on paper which are the realization of this project, and a series of important exhibitions will follow until 1993, including the gallery"Modus Vivendi" in Zurich and at the Abbaye de la Court in Colfontaine (1991) where there still is a painting on display.
A video is produced with a text by Louis Savary, "Projet de décor pour un désir illégitime" that will accompany the exhibitions
