Exhibition guide
The works of Benoît Piéron offer experiences of suspended time, waiting, hallucination and reverie through the diversion of a functional and sanitary aesthetic. By reinserting softness and desire where they have been evacuated, the artist deploys alternative stories around bodies, affects and spaces linked to illness. More recently, the discovery of his intersex status has enriched Benoît Piéron's view of the political treatment of certain lives.

About the exhibition
This new exhibition presents an erotic and abstract film in the form of a shadow theater, projected in a staging of a disquieting strangeness. Borrowing from functional urban design as well as from the register of the marvelous, this murky decor thus gives shape to the notion of impermanence - statuses, identities, physical and psychological states - to become a place of collective imagination.
