Dreaming Of Being A Butterfly

Ceysson & Bénétière, Paris presents "Dreaming Of Being A Butterfly," an exhibition exploring over five decades of work by Tania Mouraud. The show features a range of pieces, from 1980s analogue photography series like "Vitrines" and "Images fabriquées" to recent "PASIK" drawings from 2024. These works document urban and rural observations, focusing on signs, ruptures, and societal tensions.

The exhibition traces Mouraud's artistic evolution through diverse media, including photography, drawing, and text. Works such as "Rétrovisées" and "Borderland" examine manufactured objects and environmental reflections, blurring lines between photography and painting. "Where is the unknown" questions language's ability to grasp reality, while "Haïkus" and architectural-scale notes from her "Carnets d’atelier" explore the interplay between writing and visual form. The exhibition highlights Mouraud's engagement with themes of metamorphosis, perception, and the relationship between the self and the world.
