Programme
A Lion Armed With A Caduceus
Venue: Galerie La Salle des Machines, Friche la Belle de Mai
An exhibition conceived and produced by Triangle-Astérides
With the support of the Aix-Marseille-Provence Metropolis and the DRAC Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur
In collaboration with the Agency for Education through Sport (APELS)
A Walk in Marseille [Balade à Marseille] is a collective film, and the exhibition A Lion Armed with a Caduceus — a title inspired by the city’s coat of arms — presents its conception process. Directed in 2025 by Léandre Humbert, A Walk in Marseille was written at the end of 2024 by Djayssen Ouchene in collaboration with Louka Ananti, Nadir Boudjillouli, Yacine Djerbara, Adam Doudane, and Mathias Nkaoua — then part of the participating audience of the national contemporary art center Triangle-Astérides, alongside Alicia Salicetti and Djena Siby.
After a period of immersion within Triangle-Astérides, the 2024 participating audience pointed out the absence of manga in the center’s usual programming. Yet, whether on paper or on screen, this cultural form was a shared reference for the entire group. It is also a field widely explored by many contemporary artists — including Omar Castillo Alfaro, Neïla Czermak Ichti (Associate Artist at Triangle-Astérides in 2024), Rayane Mcirdi, and Ludovic Sauvage, among others. Drawing upon the imagination and aesthetics of manga — enriched by the distinctive stylistic contributions of filmmaker Léandre Humbert — affirms a grounding in popular culture while connecting intimate narratives to a global visual language.
