Thibault Laget-Ro, born in Tokyo in 1976 and a graduate in visual arts, has participated in numerous exhibitions in France and abroad, showcasing his work in foundations and private collections, including that of François Pinault. He has held solo exhibitions in Marrakech and Canada, and has received awards such as the Houdart Prize for Contemporary Art.
In this exhibition, Thibault Laget-Ro presents an approach built around illusion and the intimate strategies we each develop to resist it. The artist explores the notion of dreams in all their dimensions: the uplifting dream, the overwhelming dream, the lingering childhood dream, and the dream that fades to make way for another.
