Catherine Henriette’s works are autonomous universes in which the theatre of humans is played out in miniature.

With distance, the artist depicts a disproportionate world in which our reference points are lost, the sky and the earth, the infinitely large and small merge. This setting is inhabited by characters prey to the sublime of their present.

The exhibition No Wind Today is devoted to the work of the Austrian artist Iris Hutegger, where photography and embroidery meet. Her works are unique pieces that raise the question of our reaction to the flood of images in an era of hyper-reproducibility.

In FLORE’s work, memory acquires a unique temporality, oscillating between reminiscence and becoming. It describes the disturbing moment which intertwine that which has been lived with what might happen.

The exhibition provides an encounter between the two series "Maroc, un temps suspendu" and "L’odeur de la nuit était celle du jasmin" which, each in their own way, describe how we live memories.

"The Time of Memory" is long, heartbreaking and te… more

"My photographs are taken in ordinary places, in places where life is just going on. I have always considered the streets of New York as stages and its inhabitants as actors who interpret their own play, their history, their lives."
- Chervine
