Ange Leccia, Perspective on the Museum's Collections
15 May 2015 - 03 February 2014
Leccia immerses us in an installation especially designed using major works from the MUDO – Musée de l'Oise collections. An exhibit of old paintings and sculptures representing mythology, portraits, landscapes and atmospheric phenomena is punctuated by Leccia's video works exploring the same themes, displayed on framed, flat screens. The visitor's eyes dart back and forth between them, raising questions about the various possible artistic interpretations of a given subject: a face, the sea, a storm, etc. This series of echoes materialises the timelessness of the artistic-creation process. Without any historical reference, time ceases to matter. And it is the idea produced by the interaction of two temporalities that reactivates the sensitive eye more than the knowing eye.
