the artists
Léa Le Bricomte
Installation, video
Léa Le Bricomte's works transform objects of war into symbols of peace, blending art, spirituality, and multiculturalism. Shells, cartridges, and weapons become mandalas, talismans, or musical instruments. Through these intersections of meaning, she reprograms violence into meditative energy, questions Western culture, and explores our subtle inner worlds. She celebrates human duality with an approach that is both subversive and poetic.
Exceptional screenings of the Spirits of War project, conducted in collaboration with Corine Sombrun, will be visible throughout the festival.
Barbara Navi
paint
Each painting by Barbara Navi is an adventure in which the artist arranges fragmented scenes, inviting the viewer to compose a new universe. Strangeness arises from a paradoxical cohesion, accentuated by colored blurs and the absence of outlines. Abstraction, dream, mirage, or nightmare? The painter attempts to represent our inner worlds through figuration, opening enigmatic windows where each viewer projects their own sensory journey.
Byung-Hun Min
photography
For over thirty years, Korean photographer Byung-Hun Min has been crafting a photographic oeuvre imbued with silence and poetry. A self-taught artist, he captures the world's delicate essence in black and white: a breath in a landscape, light on skin. Each print, made by hand in his Gounsan studio, is a meditation, a fragile trace of passing time. His profoundly contemplative work is exhibited in major museums worldwide.
Darius Dolatyari-Dolatdoust
textiles, costumes, performance
Darius Dolatyari-Dolatdoust's project explores the metamorphosis of bodies through costume, performance, video, and sound. Hybrid creatures, concealed beneath flamboyant costumes, seek to recognize and communicate with one another in a final parade, a cry of love.
Isabelle Ormières
dyeing
The colors slowly imprint themselves on the fabric, mountains taking shape, deserts, lakes, cliffs, forests, figures… landscapes that evoke life, colors full of light that evolve with the passing hours. The dyeing process reveals the memory of these fabrics, and I let time do its miraculous work as a dyer.
Nathalie Saint-Oyant
facility
Smell, an archaic and intimate sense, powerfully evokes memories and emotions. Borrowing from the vocabulary of other senses, it touches upon the ineffable. Nathalie Saint-Oyant artistically explores this link between scents and personal narratives. Smells become keys to feeling, remembering, and inhabiting our inner worlds, revealing the richness of our relationship to the world.
Philippe Clemenceau
Digital printing
Philippe Clémenceau explores artworks as clouds of data, transformed through vectorization. He extracts ghostly images, graphic melodies revealing their digital structure. A paradoxical epic where the image replays the memory of the painting.
the exhibitions
Self-portraits
drawing
The children in the three kindergarten classes at the Ortolans school participated in a portrait exercise. They offer us an exceptional glimpse into their imaginary worlds and the evolution of their understanding of the body as they learn to draw. Our own inner worlds could not do without theirs, so touching, spontaneous, and authentic.
