For its sixth anniversary, the gallery presents “Augmented memories.”
The exhibition explores memory as a space of permanent reinvention, where history interacts with the present through tools, narratives, and landscapes. The works of Seunghwan Lee and Ludovic Nino highlight how memory, filtered by algorithms or rooted in the history of territories, is constructed, distorted, and augmented.
Seunghwan Lee : Algorithmic landscapes, between data and reality
Korean artist Seunghwan Lee combines in situ images with AI-generated interpretations. His landscapes from the series “Forêt de Fontainebleau” are created from GPS parameters and visual data transformed by digital tools, then reworked by the artist using acrylic and drawing.
Neither entirely real nor entirely fictional, they reveal the paradoxes between human perception and technological representation. By revealing the visual artifacts and glitches of algorithms, Lee questions our relationship with territory and the reliability of our memory, constantly reinvented by contemporary technologies.
Ludovic Nino : Crossed Roots, Colonial Memories and Plant Resilience.
Ludovic Nino explores the parallels between the Caribbean and Taiwan, two territories marked by complex colonial heritages. His drawings of fig trees, whose roots invade colonial ruins, become metaphors for the layers of memory that persist despite historical disruption.
By overlaying symbols of resistance from Maroon communities with traces of Japanese colonization, he turns landscapes into visual archives of frequently marginalized narratives. For Nino, collective memory is a living process, where past and present confront and reinvent themselves through the resilience of landscapes and cultures.
Karin Dessag will present her series of ceramics characterized by organic and fragmented design. Combining functional and sculptural elements, they reflect the memory of emotions and gestures.
