Programme
Tendres Paumes
The exhibition brings together works by Camille Bernard and Léna Gayaud, curated by Anne Vimeux and Elise Poitevin, founders and directors of sissi club.
These two artists, deeply rooted in their respective rural environments - the Corrèze for Camille and the Cévennes for Léna - are committed to weaving a close link between their creations and the production contexts that inspired them. The works in Tendres Paumes are at the heart of a cycle, one that ends to make way for another.
In these spaces of transition, of ecotone, of fallow land, they evoke stories of transformation through the wild flowers that grow on land left to rest or abandon, through scenes of interaction between humans and nature in a palpable instability.
