Group exhibition

Chambre des échos : Le bleu de toute chose

Yto Barrada, Charles Villa and books by Derek Jarman, Olivier Marboeuf, Maggie Nelson and Imani Perry

Large reproductions of sun-faded flower postcards, a 16 mm film on textile ageing, and a table of books and blue images to take away.

The graphic designer Charles Villa left a collection of flower postcards in the sun for months, until ultraviolet light burned off the yellows, magentas and fluorescent inks and the flowers turned blue. Three large reproductions hang beside Yto Barrada’s 16 mm film The Power of Two or Three Suns (2020), set in a lab that simulates aging on textiles.

Books on blue by Olivier Marboeuf, Imani Perry, Derek Jarman and Maggie Nelson sit on a table with thousands of Villa’s blue images, which visitors may take or add to.
