CURATED BY MARIE DEPARIS-YAFIL

The group exhibition Aux Frontières de l’Imaginaire, bringing together seven contemporary artists, takes over the Pavillon Vendôme in Clichy from 14 October 2026 to 9 January 2027.

Curated by Marie Deparis-Yafil, a route through installations, photographs, drawings, a fresco, sculptures and paintings has taken shape around the theme of fauna and flora. The exhibition invites visitors on a journey, an voyage, an encounter with worlds in which nature becomes dreamlike and fantastical.

Shuvay ; Crédits : ©Shivay La Multiple The exhibition Aux frontières de l’Imaginaire offers an accessible and sensitive experience for everyone, where each visitor can discover the works at their own pace and freely develop their own interpretation. Children and adults alike are invited to observe, question and imagine, through a route that reinvents our way of looking at nature.

About the artists

7 artists for 7 worlds, each exploring a reinvented nature in their own way:

Marguerite Li-Garrigue develops dreamlike worlds populated by creatures in transformation, where the metamorphosis of insects holds a central place.

Alexis Tricoire, plant designer, offers a change of perspective on nature that questions our ability to adapt to climate change.

Tom Lellouche creates interactive sculptures blending organic forms and new technologies, inviting the visitor to reflect on their relationship with living things.

NeoConsortium, a fictional multinational imagined by artists, designers and engineers, presents its Laboratoire d’Agroesthétique, extending its reflection between fiction, art and industry.

Manon Touhami explores, through symbolic and dreamlike painting, the links between humans, nature and inner transformations.

Chris Morin Eitner composes photographs and printed fabrics in which vegetation, animals and architecture engage in dialogue, offering a poetic vision of a nature that takes back its rights.

Shivay la Multiple blends memory, metamorphosis and light in a contemporary work in which sequin embroidery and glass flowers evoke landscapes, bodies and transformations, inspired by the great rivers of the world.
