The exhibition gathers under the title Témoin (witness) a selection of works that depict present or past realities through narrative, fictional or formal processes. In these artworks, it is perspective over history that prevails, rather than history itself. Through constructed testimonies of given facts and realities, the exhibition reflects on the links built by the artists between personal and greater history, anecdotes and fictions, political considerations and fantasies. These constructs, woven within multiple connections to history, all call for new potential understandings, to act or interpret the world around us through new possibilites to summon, new opportunities to seize, new meanings to build.
