Programme
Douglas Eynon, 11:11
British artist Douglas Eynon, based in Brussels, presents his first solo exhibition in Marseille. The title refers to the “angel hour,” a mirrored moment associated with synchronicity, running through an exhibition attuned to fragile apparitions.
An anamorphic painting of a hand and a swaying paper orchid establish a dialogue between body and plant, image and matter. The background landscapes draw inspiration from nightclub lighting designed by his father, sometimes tested in the family living room or garden. From these memories emerge hybrid landscapes, where the domestic meets an almost cosmic light.
Victor Siret, A/C Tales
In Marseille, Victor Siret conjures a deserted city saturated with signs, where the hum of air conditioners replaces the mistral. Drawing from a personal image archive shaped by cinema, television, video games, and advertising, the artist translates these references into embroidery and needlepoint.
Between reality and fiction, the apparent clarity of images gives way to more ambiguous signs.
