Installation at the Centre de Conservation et de Ressources du Mucem, Marseille
Coproduced by Mucem / Cirva
In 2023, at the invitation of Mucem, artist Mathilde Rosier, then in residence at Cirva, conceived the installation Champ de visions, for the Centre de conservation et de ressources (CCR). On the building's façade, and in the interior spaces open to the public, the artist sows glass eyes conceived during her residency.
