Performance inside the exhibition
January 27th 2024, 19h

For this activation of the three installations in the exhibition Loves, Lives and Deaths in Symbiosis, Lucile Olympe Haute invites Jeanne Mainetti.

Together, they will speak in tongues in front of the six Cosmic Talismans installed on their glass and string altar. Visible artifacts resulting from microscopic lives, this series invites us to project ourselves to other scales and experience a vertiginous gap: from the microscopic invisible to the cosmic infinite.

Then comes the time for healing gestures around the Agonie installation. Repeated over and over, the circle is drawn, again and again, until trance is reached. It echoes circle of life and death. If it's not possible to live without eating, to eat without killing, not all deaths are equivalent.

Finally comes the time of communion around the culture broth where yeast and bacteria reproduce and multiply. Lupanar, nuptial bed, delivery bed, deathbed: a whole life develops here. Who could take in a few thousand of these symbiotic beings?
