Exposition - Nouvelles Acquisitions Photographiques 4

As part of the Year of Photography (May 24-October 25), the Musée des Beaux-Arts is exhibiting its recent photographic acquisitions - Françoise Saur (January-April 2025) and Jin (April-October 2025).

Le Re-cueillir is a series photographed between 2001 and 2002 on the outskirts of the studio, in which Françoise Saur captures 34 snapshots of plant species: grasses, mosses, snow sedges, willowherbs, black thorns, foxgloves, horsetails, bilberries, ferns, lily of the valley and maple leaves. The 36x36 cm frame invites a close dialogue with the motif. The black and white tones accentuate the relief of these mountain territories.

Artist and curator Jin takes over an Art Deco venue with dyxphori, an installation in which found and manufactured objects - pianos, clothes, railroad sleepers - weave a tale inspired by fantasy cinema, from giallo to horror films. Between darkness and grand-guignol, his universe plays with the visible and the invisible, exploring unease and emotional discomfort in a resolutely queer approach. dyxphori continues in portfolio form, capturing the ephemeral essence of the installation and its dialogue with the public.
