The winners of the Prix des arts visuels de la Ville de Nantes present their work from the past two years. This exhibition brings together installations, films, videos, photos and performances, taking visitors on a journey that is both luminous and melancholic, in a world undergoing great upheavals. The title, Des soleils mouillés, refers to Baudelaire’s poem “L’invitation au voyage”, which is revisited through the prism of our current times.
Laura Bottereau & Marine Fiquet continue their masterfully studied scenography by depicting adolescence as a fictional space.
Marjorie Le Berre and her collective Le Folle explore the space’s temporal dimension by playing on the invisible nature of elements that will appear and disappear throughout the duration of the exhibition.
Léa Viretto’s new video installation takes the carnivalesque notion of reversal as its starting point, then compares it to recent popular uprisings.
