Tabacalera de Madrid
Exhibition | Apr. 12-21; 2010

L'exposition de cette année à la Tabacalera pourrait être considérée comme un second chapitre après l'exposition présentée dans ce même espace en 2009. Une interrogation du lieu, de son passé et de l'histoire contemporaine dans laquelle il s'inscrit reste profondément présente. Alors que l'année dernière nous avions souhaité laisser l'espace d'exposition ouvert à ses espaces adjacents et littéralement éclairer les bureaux vides et les couloirs désaffectés comme autant de témoignages d'une société révolue encore à portée de regard, nous avons choisi cette année d'occulter ces espaces, de le replier sur lui-même en quelque sorte. Comme le signe d'une incertitude et d'un devenir. Le signe d'une condition du regard.
