Drawing on two verses from his collection Les Sublimations (éditions blast, 2024, p. 89), the artist explores the semantic links that emerge when two words are placed side by side. “Brain”, ‘bomb’ and a third sign – the egg – which stands out as the visual of this link: absurd, simple, in the making. The use of auto-tune and Lilas Descottes’ musical production wrap this exploration in a light, haunting atmosphere, allowing a strange play of correspondences between the senses to vibrate.The exhibition Avec (les lignes) Après (la poésie) presents works by poet-artists and poet-artists, questioning what would be the artistic visual image as poetic, when the text hybridizes it. Readable or allusive, cryptic, it becomes literal, concrete, metaphorical, baroque. Surreal, too.
Five readings-performances by contemporary poets punctuate the visible reading experience offered by Avec (les lignes) Après (la poésie).
