Un lac inconnu

Bally Foundation, 2023

Un Lac Inconnu, an Unknown Lake, borrows its title from the words of Marcel Proust when he tries to describe, in his book Le temps retrouvé (Time Regained), the meticulous exploration of the human soul and what underlies it: the unconscious. The exhibition is an invitation to the evocative power of the surrounding nature, to its ability to inspire imagination and create persistent images, to penetrate dormant and deep waters, maternal or troubled, to transform the boundaries between exterior and interior into thin membranes, to walk in our intimate gardens, our immersed landscapes.
