A high grille hemmed like a lip, adorned with an eye and tears, bars the exhibition space as it enters. On one side: costumes hang from the ceiling, sketching a spectral underwater fauna. On the other, for those who can get in: a monumental sculpture – half grimacing face, half half-open legs from which strange cries escape – and a two-way glass booth face each other, in the middle of a pathway incited by large tokens on the floor. From the walls to the works, everything is white. “Almost too white”, in the words of artist Aline Bouvy.

Disliked for their awkward approach, their scowl and their life in the depths, moray eels have a bad reputation. As is often the case, this is unjustified: they only attack when they feel threatened; otherwise, they are indifferent and sometimes even tender. Some are born female, only to become male in the course of their lives, or vice versa. Their apparent quirkiness has led them to become the animal attributes of Ursula, the “villain” in Disney’s version of The Little Mermaid, whose troubled gender identity and evil intentions coincide. It has also led them to symbolize a liberating, non-standard form of life and desire in writer Mireille Best’s lesbian apprenticeship novel Hymnes aux murènes (1984).
