Un captif amoureux
Solo exhibition at ZÉRUÌ, accompanied by a text by Théo Casciani
2nd of May to the 8th of June 2025
The exhibition takes its title from Jean Genet’s final book, written through his memories of living alongside the Palestinian resistance. In Genet, love changes the position from which something is witnessed. What is remembered becomes inseparable from desire, and what has disappeared can remain intensely present.The exhibition begins from this unstable position of looking. Images pass into objects and surfaces that reveal themselves gradually as the viewer moves through the space. A drawing held against a window changes with the light. A photograph becomes partly concealed within another material. The interior of a closed form asks to be approached before it can be seen. Across the exhibition, perception becomes an act of proximity, where what is visible is shaped by the distance from which it is encountered.
