About
The exhibition Pantin explores the connections between language, the city, and intimacy through an installation of letter-sculptures and images created in the artist’s living and working spaces. Language, thus transformed into an object, reveals the tension between the intimate and the visual codes of sales. A levitating mannequin, taken from museum or department store windows, questions how the gaze and the body are conditioned by a visual regime. The domestic photographs, meanwhile, examine the role of the gaze in the intimate sphere. The exhibition deliberately disrupts certain codes: the images and texts are inserted into the interstices of a broader framework, thereby offering a critical reading of urban space and visual culture, where the public and the private intersect and reconfigure themselves.
