Mémoire de l'Avenir presents "Sous le Pli" / "Under Wraps", an exhibition by the American artist Suki Valentine, who in her latest project explores hidden personal and collective narratives, while questioning the impact of these hidden narrations on the construction of self and of social identities.
"Under Wraps" / "Sous le Pli" unfolds around two corpora of works and research by the artist, one linked to the silence of History and the other to the silence of individual stories or of families.
Guy Girard is a director and photographer. He has been active in the French and international cultural landscape since the 1980s. He has worked as a technical assistant at the Office HLM, as a truck driver in Martinique, as a coral fisherman in the Mediterranean, as a bookseller in Paris, as a photographer, as a film editor and, finally, as a film director. He has made more than eighty films in various formats: portraits of artists; historical documentaries; observational documentaries exploring French institutions; and experimental films.
The French word "pli" can refer to the fold of a dress or a diplomatic package, the wave of hair or a fold in the skin, a crease or a bad habit.... Apparently nothing could be more anecdotal ! But beginning to observe them can turn into an obsession, because "plis" are everywhere.
