Invited to conceive a double solo exhibition between Marseille and Avignon — her first institutional presentation in France — the artist Agata Ingarden conceived the two installations as “two distinct atmospheric states through which we perceive the same reality.”
While the exhibition at theCollection Lambertin Avignon unfolds under the sign of moonlight and darkness, the works presented at Triangle-Astérides — all made of glass and playing with the idea of transparency, both literal and metaphorical — instead invite the viewer’s gaze to seep everywhere, pushing the scopic drive to its extreme. In broad daylight, in full view of all.
The Franco-Polish artist views these sculptures as portals, granting access to the enigmatic Dream House World. “Dream House is not a narrative with a beginning or an end, but a fictional infrastructure. What matters is simply understanding that there is an underlying system [to our reality]. We do not know exactly what takes place there, but we can imagine it.”
