At a time when ecology is becoming a fundamental concern and a necessary point of action, this exhibition focuses on what is still there, on the fragile and transient forms of life that fill the world.
Taking living things as its target, transcribing them, magnifying them, revealing them or, on the contrary, concealing them, probing the vibrations of a pulsating world.
Taking the vulnerability of living beings as a cornerstone, questioning the possible relationships between life-giving subjects and destructive tools.
The tool as an extension of the living body helps to gain strength, precision, and productivity. This crutch can be both a support and a destructive tool. The dehumanization of weapons of war creates a distance between humans and living beings. The gap referred to here then becomes a “metaphorical void,” an interval conducive to the evocation, albeit ideal, of a tool that would help humans but would fade away in favor of artistic expression.
