The exhibition "prima materia la psyché à l’œuvre" at Christian Berst, Paris, explores the concept of "prima materia" as a state of potentiality prior to form and categorization, where matter and spirit are unified. Drawing parallels with Jung's idea of an original, fertile chaos, the show presents a diverse range of works that emerge from an inner necessity to reconcile internal turmoil or establish an alternative order.

The artworks function as foundational acts, employing signs, motifs, and repetitions to stabilize reality. Drawing becomes a ritual, accumulation a structure, and figuration a form of invocation, highlighting art's vital role in transforming raw experience into a communicable world. The exhibition features works by Isabel Alemán Corrales, Lindsay Caldicott, Raimundo Camilo, Farnood Esbati, Johann Fischer, Dagmar Havlíčková, Freda Köhler, Davood Koochaki, David Marshall, Luboš Plný, José Johann Seinen, Patrick Siegel, Leopold Strobl, Oswald Tschirtner, and George Widener.
