Gilles Massot: l’Espace entre les choses
March 4 to May 28

Opening Friday March 3 at 7pm

“The exhibition l’Espace entre les choses is a retrospective of Gilles Massot’s work, the main theme of which is the history of the image, its production and reproduction.

The exhibition is first of all a question about the multiple connections that make up Gilles Massot’s multidisciplinary work, bringing together traces of a large part of his life as an artist and traveller-historian. The sequences in the exhibition refer to the process that underlies his work; a process that over the years makes him establish links between narratives, technics, occurrences and parts of the world.

He offers us a rewriting of the history of photography, going from the beginnings of one of the first photographic reporters, Jules Itier, to the mysteries of the pyramids of Egypt. The whole confronts globalization with the diversity and multiplication of uses.
