Elvire Bondouelle - Eduardo Antonio - Julie Maurin - Louise Oates - David Micheaud

Our dialogue explores the collision and migration of ecologies and cultures, personal and collective memory, boundaries between the natural/artificial and the systemic forces shaping these journeys.

 

Julie Maurin & Eduardo Antonio distort familiar motifs, layering materials to unearth dreamscapes, childhood memories and shifting identities. Instability extends into explorations of fragmented narratives, where histories (personal and collective) collide and reassemble. Such as the organic-industrial materials Louise Pates manipulates to reveal unseen systems of control and resistance; brought to life with atomised and flowing liquids, a kinetic activation. Tensions between the constructed and the organic resurface in Elvire Bondouelle‘s reimagined domestic objects, playfully undermine the rigidity of social structures. As this cycle unflods, David Micheaud‘s quiet interventions distort the mundane, inviting a sense of the uncanny -the familiar turns fluid and transformation is inevitable.

 

The booth is a site of flux where memory, materiality and form continually migrate and reconfigure. Engaging with movement as both a conceptual and material force, the works resist static interpretation, offering an evolving dialogue on impermanence, adaptation and the blurred boundaries between the natural and the constructed. Through this interplay of control and unpredictability, visibility and erasure, the exhibition reflects the precarious balance between ecological fragility and resilience, allowing new forms of meaning to emerge in the space between order and entropy.
