Interwoven stories

In Bouffons, Mages, Satrapes et autre Quidams, Denis Jourdin revisits illustrations from popular novels of 1907 and unveils a new narrative that chronicles our troubled times by focusing on violence and power. The artist brings together the past and the present, revealing beings and souls that embody the universal nature of history, his vision of society, and the human condition.

Et après ? by Blandine Laneyrie follows the mental descent of a woman suffering from insomnia, whose vacation memories gradually transform into visions of a world that is saturated, exhausted, and then silent. Through ten paintings conceived as a tale, the artist explores our era through the lens of eco-anxiety. Rather than depicting the catastrophe, she focuses on conveying its underlying tensions: the fragility of balance, the blurred line between desire and destruction, and the gradual slide toward collapse.

Quelle est ma dette ? is the latest narrative by visual artist and musician Stéphanie Kry, who has developed an artistic practice centered on plant printing, exploring the connections between nature, imprint, memory and transformation. Her work arises from a co-creation with plants. Poetic, multisensory—and yet a tension remains: the plant gives everything, it exhausts itself. The artist names what we usually prefer to keep silent: we owe something to living things. An invitation to reflect on our relationship with life, on what we take, and on what we owe in return.
