Épaves

The exhibition "épaves" (wrecks) at Stems Gallery Brussels features works by Jannick Deslauriers and Camille Charbonneau. The show explores themes of shipwreck, storm, and the sublime, presenting a fragmented labyrinth that evokes a post-apocalyptic Atlantis or a submerged church.

The artists' work delves into the history of colonization, examining how systems of oppression were transported and imposed through structures like places of worship, hospitals, and monuments. The exhibition presents these ideas as uncertain volumes and fragmented narratives, described as skeletal remains of stories, rusted and faded, with dislocated memories.
