Asserting that any visual memory is relative, personal or historical, the exhibition avoir lieu explores the concept of memory as images of foresight. It unfolds as a two-way road evoking historical and current events, backwards and yet to come, while still ongoing.
A short circuit occurs, where documentary and archive material, pictures of a reality that already exists in the form of photographic memory, virtual reconstructions of the present condition and insightful collages that infiltrate the memory of the shared experiences, altogether interlink. Among signs of the past and of the imaginary near future, inspired and circular paths emerge.
Auguste-Dormeuil’s work is not embedded in a mental revision of the same day or the day after, but in the day preceding a historical date or an important event that interest the artist. He shows us, for instance, a digital reconstruction of the sky before the disaster of Hiroshima. Usually perceived as a framework of the future, his starry and retrospective skies display an absolute anxiety.
Laurence Aëgerter diverts the documentary image set within the realm of the encyclopedic texts to render a personal and contextual experience. The picture fixes the visual recognition of our general knowledge or more specifically of art history, such as in the Catalogue des chefs-d’œuvre du Musée du Louvre, inducing an endless interpretation.
In addition to their piece of art Louvre, Bruno Baltzer & Leonora Bisagno will present a new video and photographic production for the exhibition Avoir lieu. Their project questions the meaning of the prospect, the memory and the forecast of an event, which meet only occasionally at a precise date and location, although they are united.
Guillaume Janot expressively chronicles the material media coverage of the world, revealing it on a miniature scale, through the idea of the amusement parks.
In his images, the replication of these places preserves the truthfulness of photography and time’s existence.
Joël Bartolomeo displays videos in which history and History share a common purpose. Over time, the artist inspires us to re-examine the pictures.
