Somewhere else near here

Sculptural works with a domestic allure that take over the space, as the saying goes, more by their resonance than by their size. Sculptures imbued with humanity and topicality, because the artists are witnesses to the world. The evocation of a house in ruins (Icy & Sot). Behind the intertwined arabesques of a fragment of grid (Nelson Pernisco) rises the Monument aux monuments qui tombent (Mrdjan Bajic). "Eternity is scarcely longer than life" proclaims Nelson Pernisco. "Don't worry, everything wearies," replies Fulvia Nicolini. Amandine Guruceaga's acerbic riposte, "Su lengua afilada", is not long in coming. Erre in this desolate landscape, a strange assembly of motley residents: Petite Taaru (Ndary Lo), Botero (Romuald Hazoumé), Maryvonne and Sacha (Martine Buffet) with their pets (Max Coulon). In the rubble, a disco ball shatters on the ground (Nelson Pernisco). An abandoned suitcase reveals a dress no longer in use (Fulvia Nicolini). All around, scattered traces: a key (Claire Olivier), a ladder with broken steps (Marion Flamant), a stranded kite (Gaëlle Chotard), an insolently cheerful carillon (Cyrille Martin) and an hourglass measuring time that has stopped (Darta Sidere). Familiar accents in a world that no longer is.
