Récits d’Adolescence
Regards intérieurs et Histoires Partagées
A first curatorial exploration
Adolescence: that shifting territory on the threshold between childhood and adulthood, where life’s first profound questions begin to take shape. For this inaugural exhibition, I sought to bring together multiple perspectives on this suspended, fragile, and incandescent age.
My curatorial work was nourished by this delicate subject, composing a narrative path where each work becomes a fragment of story, an echo of emotion, a reflection of identities in the making.
Curatorial vision, selecting the gazes
Three artists were brought together to offer intertwined perspectives:
The intimate confidences of Ella Clowes, imbued with memory and recollection.
The suspended portraits of Laure Boyer, capturing the ephemeral grace of youth.
The subtle observations of Héloise Bonin, portraying adolescence in its social and contemplative dimensions.
Weaving a narrative
The exhibition was conceived as an emotional journey, where each artist invites the viewer to surrender to the resonance of their own memories, while discovering the diversity of these young narratives.
Creating a space of resonance
Beyond the installation itself, I envisioned a space conducive to contemplation—a place of silence and light where the works could breathe and engage in dialogue.
The intention
Adolescence is a universal yet deeply singular passage, a zone of uncertainty where the contours of self emerge with hesitation. Through this exhibition, I aimed to pay tribute to this fragile beauty, to these stories woven from doubts, impulses, and metamorphoses.
