Introspective more than retrospective, Do you hear them? presents, through a set of existing pieces and new productions, the different facets of his work: from paintings to installations, including photography, video and his prolific drawing work. Filled with invisible voices and electric silences, it resounds at the garden level of the building in the form of a landscape to be surveyed in a half-light disturbed by the whiteness of the light sources emanating from the works themselves. In his installations playing on opacities and transparencies and confrontations between opposites, enamelled steel, copper, cotton, glass, red ink, fabric, mirror, metal are then electrified in contact with accumulated objects and pieces of furniture.

Conceived as a global installation in dialogue with architecture, Do you hear them? testifies to the relationship that the artist maintains with the space, whether it is that of the exhibition or that of the work. Punctuated by pieces scattered throughout the entire level of the Palais de Tokyo garden, the route thus leads in concentric waves to discover the works by chromatic touches, to enter an instance of a “workshop-brain” or to be guided by the its on the banks of the Ganges. 

As its title, inspired by a book by Nathalie Sarraute, underlines, her work unfolds through echoes, vibrations and hums, but also through silences and breaths. Like the movement of thought proceeding by leaps and turns, dazzling and rehashing, Do you hear them? opens inner and outer worlds in chiaroscuro. It invites us to pay attention both to our inner voices and to those of the multitudes of identities that surround us.
