'Pause' (Group Show), Fonds régional d’art contemporain de Lorraine, Metz
September 6, 2024 - January 26, 2025

The exhibition Pause explores the relationship between past and present images, focusing on how the past has been lost in the present while still informing it. The artists explore the contexts that make empathy with images, such as media and social networks, which make it difficult to grasp the complexity of situations they are treated in. The exhibition highlights that our attraction to images is ambivalent, guided by the desire to connect with the world without appreciating all its facets. In an era shaped by fear and authoritarian drifts, the past serves as a way to understand our visual environment. The exhibition aims to use the power of institutions as a legacy to offer different views on the present and give place to other geographies.
