BENJAMIN DEROCHE – MYRIAM DE LAFFOREST – NICOLAS LEFEUVRE – PATRICIA CANCELÓ

This exhibition is an experience, a dialogue between art and literature
The artworks resonate with the words of Marguerite Yourcenar:

“I have often thought that the most profound sensation of life is that of rest within
movement, of time suspended in duration.” (Memoirs of Hadrian)

This experience of eternity, revelation, and the sacred runs through the works of Christian Bobin, Baudelaire, Leonard Cohen… writers who have explored this suspension as a language of the soul.

Synonymous with slowness, lightness, transition, and silence, this exhibition proposes a
poetic experience supported by literary quotations that give voice to these silent works of striking aesthetic intensity.

In this suspended movement, art becomes the privileged medium of our gaze, our emotion, and our desire — not as a halt, but as a particular state of consciousness where the present moment opens onto infinity.

A Sensory Experience of the Suspended Moment

In the luminous intimacy of the gallery, sculptures, photographs, and paintings orchestrate an exceptional moment that escapes the ordinary flow of time. Time falls silent.
Colored veils float, ink gestures breathe, bronze bodies leap, geometric forms gravitate.
In perfect balance, this suspended moment reveals a threshold where matter transforms into light.

“I believe in the sacred combination of art that offers both intellectual stimulation and emotional resonance. I believe in those works of art that linger in our minds and invite inner dialogue. Art is alive; it inspires, guides, exalts, and provokes where we least expect it. A successful work of art reveals hidden aspects of our psyche and leads us toward greater awareness.” – Clémentine de Forton

 

Texte d’exposition écrit par Caroline Scheuer, autrice et journaliste indépendante:

“Une part de moi contient ces femmes, qui ont fait voeu de silence et vivent une vie pieuse, tournée vers la prière et la méditation, dans un cloitre reculé, au milieu d’une nature verdoyante.
Pas de cri, pas de crissement, pas de moteur, pas de tintamarre d’egos en mal d’existence. Des tâches simples, répétitives dont le seul tempo marque le rythme des jours et des nuits. Une part de moi vit dans ces bois sombres et profonds, où une nature antique s’épanouie sans entrave, loin du tumulte des hommes.
Dans ces forêts, dans ces cellules tranquilles, l’âme renoue avec l’éternité qui l’a vue naître.
Débarrassé du brouhaha de la ville, le chant de l’oiseau est à nouveau audible. Libéré des injonctions en pagaille, le temps redevient relatif. En ralentissant soudain, la main qui se lève vers l’objet perçoit les particules d’air traversées. L’âme peut-être âme, à nouveau.
De ces forêts, de ces cellules, nulle trace dans les labyrinthes de nos villes. Mais de ces oeuvres ici rassemblées, en Suspension, émane quelque chose de ces forêts anciennes, qui force le silence et convoque l’éternité.”
