The (un)veiled Gaze

Interactive, tactile and sound installation

Selected as part of the projects associated with the NUIT BLANCHE The (un)veiled Gaze is a work that proposes to question the neurological phenomenon of synesthesia. It invites us, through gesture and touch, to discover a sonic landscape of which the image of a human body constitutes both the vehicle and the geography.

PERFORMANCE at 6pm and 6:30pm

Cecile Bouillot

Street poems and everyday gestures

Texts : Cécile Bouillot

Music : Brigande

Cécile Bouillot will deliver two performances based on her latest project in which she stages sentences captured in the street since 2020, punctuated by interludes based on everyday gestures set to music by Brigande. Through the prism of a kaleidoscopic narrative, Cécile Bouillot proposes with humour and poetry to confront us with the chirping of the world.

Mémoire de l'Avenir invites, for the second consecutive exhibition, the international art collective DF Art Project, bringing together artists who share a common plastic research, around the fragmentation of identities, of realities, their perspectives, their distortions and/or their dynamics of transformation.

The artists are questioning the subject as much as their mediums of use, working with photography, sculpture, performance or video practices.

The exhibition, from 4 September to 2 October 2021, presents 9 artists of the collective.

Adèle Bessy / Adrien Conrad / Brno Del Zou / Eric Petr / Grégory Dreyfus / Juliette Frescaline / Marie-Christine Palombit / Suzanne Larrieu / Yohan Blanco

Mainly linked to notions of time, of bodies and of their metamorphoses; the works presented are echoes the paths of lives, mentally and physically, throughout whims of desires, of fears, of life and of death. These routes are traced over the course of encounters with the world, evoking intimate, physical and social interrogations, that arises.

By portraiture and stylistic approaches of DE structuring the real, the artists try to capture these movements of the spirit and of the being and of the worlds that inhabit them.

Adèle Bessy's works, marked by a a fusion of multiplicity of characters, often are associated with a fantastic bestiary, are inspired by the iconography of the Flemish Primitives and medieval civilisation. Between genre scenes and mythological painting, the works show us creatures that are both "devouring and fusional".

Adrien Conrad's pictorial universe confronts us with personage with ambiguous faces, haunted by dramatic or terrorizing emotions. Through these portraits, the artist wishes to questions our deepest fears.

By working on the fragmentation of the image of the body and its re composition, Brno del Zou paradoxically seeks its unity. His creations (video or in volume) attempt to capture both, the deep identity of the people he represents, and the chaos that inhabits our minds. His works are marked by a reflection on the ideas and images we have of ourselves, or on the body and about the mind.

Eric Petr's photographic series "Metamorphoses" questions the link between the body, the cosmos and its memories. Through a dilation of forms, treated in complex and unstructured volumes, the photographer shows us characters out of time and matter, who become waves and particles in perpetual motion.

In his Lilliput series, Grégory Dreyfus seeks to dismantle the conventional image of the superhero and to question the essence of the power of people. Through strange characters, whose heads are formed with only one eye, the artist proposes a symbolic of the "pure and sensitive" consciousness, which allows the emergence of a free and sovereign mind, concerning matters and choices in life.

Through a work in volume, that combines wire and ceramics, Juliette Frescaline creates a series of grimacing masks, in which the eye or the mouth are the only visible elements of the face. They allow her to capture with humour expressions of mockery, suffering or discontent that we dare not express publicly when confronted with the world that affects us.

The woman is at the centre of Marie-Christine Palombit's series of "shamanic bodies". In this pictorial work, the artist invokes the shamanic practice of dismemberment. She is investigating the body as a territory, to be re appropriated, through which the power of being can be reconquered. Her work also incarnates a space where emotions can be expressed and read.

Fascinated by the infinite variations to be found in faces, Suzanne Larrieu sculpts imaginary portraits that seek to capture a moment of life, or a mental state. The cardboard material used by the artist, participates in the symbology of the work as of the human condition, its fragility and its resistance.

In his works, Yohan Blanco invests photography as a plastic medium that he will work in volume - accentuated by the use of a deep black background. In this way, he offers the frozen bodies represented initially by a two-dimensional image, a profound manifestation in 3-dimensional space. This work, on the nearly physical presence of the body, is also an assertion or an affirmation of Being, as of the existence of self and of the identities of one self.
