Maguy Banq, french artist (1954) has focused her work on the research on the "myth of sisyphus". This legend that inspired Albert Camus for his "Cycle of absurd" invites to reconsider daily labor to make it a simple pleasure.
If fundamentally, Camusian thought is built around the solitude of man, Maguy Banq has infused her work from the start with a few sculptures linking two characters.


The exhibition "Unity is strength" brings together all of Maguy Banq's pieces which evoke the relationship with the Other, and shed light on the artist's journey on the subject since 2005.

In 2005, Maguy Banq created the sculpture the Mur where two seated men appear, they are side by side but do not look in the same direction; in 2014, for the Sufflare, Suffere exhibition, the artist produced Dialogue and Sur le Fil, this last aerial sculpture depicts three men balancing in single file. In 2016, for the Labyrinth exhibition, seven pieces enrich the artist's work on the human condition and its relationship to others. It is a stage in Maguy's work, the works all echo friendship, fraternity, the strength to be two.
