Borrowing from the Earth

Through fragments, a subtle mapping of the landscape runs through the works like a reminiscence. The gathering of subtle clues from reality gives rise to forms that stem less from representation than from fragments, traces, and displacement.

The landscapes that emerge remain latent, held in check by a chromatic restraint and zones of indeterminacy. The gaze wanders without being able to immediately fix what it sees, as if the forms were suspended in a state of limbo. The works thus open up threshold spaces, where inner landscapes, diffuse memories, and traces still active beneath the surface of the visible come to the fore. A residual warmth permeates the exhibition: a discreet energy imbued in the images, materials, and surfaces.

Echoing the 2026 Lyon Biennale, the exhibition conceives of the threshold as a space where forms of memory and states of transformation—usually invisible—become perceptible. It focuses on what appears in the interstices: forms in transition, fragmentary presences, and vestiges. The works form a collection of fragments and lingering traces in which the landscape becomes a site of sensory perception, straddling the line between memory and apparition.
