Breathing in the world is an invitation.
\nMona Laure Millet looks at a sovereign nature, where the dethroned human has given way to the plant kingdom.
\nThe artist, who also works on film sets, has developed a highly singular pictorial gesture, since breath is at the heart of her work.
\n“I use inks and soapy water saturated with pigments, which I project onto recycled plastic film using my breath. These are then pasted onto paper, so I can start drawing.”
\nThis exhibition questions man’s place in his environment, a memory of the living that is both archaic and new.
\nHere, the wild is not aesthetic, but active and overflowing. It reforests space. It whispers that everything can disappear and yet blossom anew, that any devastation carries with it the possibility of recovery.
\nBreathing the world is not a promise, it’s a beating, a breathing of the world itself.
\nExpansion, retraction, disappearance, return.
\n“Mona Laure Millet’s work places us in this first cycle, before mastery, before control.
\nWhere gesture is born of breath,
\nWhere form is born of flow.
\nWhere life, fragile and wild, begins again and again.”
