at Wilde Le Lieu

From the infinitely large to the infinitely small, modernity

scientist sought to illuminate everything, make everything clear and measurable, until

to “roll back the sky”. Yet, under this new sky, the opacity of

world has not disappeared. This contemporary vagueness is no longer the premodern one, but

persists in epistemic, environmental and social uncertainty. A

unknown that science continues to produce as it advances, and the art of revealing

moving the gaze.

Also, if modernity has caused the sky to recede, it has not necessarily

left empty.

When the sky recedes is a collective exhibition

art-science that explores these uncertain territories. Like an operator

of cinema playing with the focal length, it alternates the sharp and the blur, the

clarity and darkness, to disturb our certainties and open new

spaces of perception.

It is precisely in these persistent gray areas that

the most lively questions are born, and the artistic approaches and

most fertile scientists. From the infinitely large to the infinitely small,

what place is left for the unknown, the vagueness, the chiaroscuro when the

science pushes the boundaries of knowledge?

From July 1 to 12, 2026, we invite you to discover When

the sky recedes in Wilde – Le Lieu.
