Adjustment

Painter Gustave Didelot presents a structured practice around his concept the ‘Monde de peinture’, developed through accumulation and sustained observation. The exhibition comprises canvases that blend figural fragments, architectural motifs, and cultural references—from video games to contemporary art—producing a visual language that oscillates between mirror and distortion. Using layered paint and attentive composition, Didelot sketches a utopian elsewhere: paintings work as windows that invite projection, reveal alternative narratives, and occasionally suggest emergent forms that entangle play and perception.

Opening: 1 October, 18h30

Photographer Florian Luthi’s Fantômes Météores is inspired by the 1954 wave of UFO sightings across France, especially along the Franco‑Swiss border. From one of these accounts he revisits childhood landscapes—mist‑shrouded forests, deserted villages and the Jura—and composes a photographic narrative where truth wavers and legends endure. The series uses long exposures, muted palettes and staged absence to probe memory, collective fear and the boundary between documentary and myth. A collaboration with Fondation Convergences.
