Paysages mouvants
The exhibition
Paysages Mouvants at the Jeu de Paume: the must-see event of the season.
The Festival des nouvelles images returns to the Jeu de Paume for its second edition, three years after Fata Morgana. With Paysages mouvants, softness, poetry and technology evolve together in this beautiful project by Jeanne Mercier, curator and programmer, and Loo Hui Phang, scriptwriter.
The festival is resolutely contemporary. The fourteen artistic projects are presented for the first time in Paris. The works are well worth the detour, but the festival, presented from February 7 to March 23, also features a remarkable and innovative program. On certain weekends, the exhibition is accompanied by workshops for children, dance and musical performances, meetings-projections and conferences. Something to delight young and old alike.
The Jeu de Paume offers a real collective narrative. A little story in several acts in several rooms, following the big story through a chronological and geographical scenography. Chronological, because the story and the reflective stakes cross time and imagine the future. Geographical, because the internationality of the festival is reflected in the diversity of the artists and subjects covered. The story unfolds before our very eyes. The narration is accurate, and an almost theatrical dramaturgy emerges from the texts accompanying the works on display. The new visions of imaginary landscapes that come to life before our eyes are full of suspense. It's the entire universe that sets the space ablaze.
Julian Charrière's catastrophist yet realistic photographic stagings, Richard Pak's contemporary collapse of Nature and Andrea Olga Mantovani's astonishing colors of the Ukrainian Carpathians, successively purple and red, then black and white and finally pink and blue, following the country's military current events, all raise questions and provoke reflection. Even Eliza Levy's fairy-tale installation seeks to do justice, reenchanting reality through the imaginary. This marvelous journey between fiction and reality questions ecological policies, migratory flows and the way in which centuries of representations of nature have influenced and stereotyped the way we look at things.
The uniqueness of the festival is reflected in the exhibition catalog. It retraces the exhibition's itinerary and the festival's events, but also includes fictional writings by authors on these landscape and natural issues.
With this proposal, the Jeu de Paume scores a major coup on the art scene: Paysages mouvants is an event not to be missed.
