Beyond the Gaze

A descriptive and sensory visit to the exhibition “Fuite au Marché Machin” with Benoît Billotte opens the experience to blind and visually impaired visitors as well as the wider public. The format invites participants to encounter the work through voice, touch and attentive listening, shifting emphasis from sight to embodied perception. Framed by an ephemeral collective of illustrators and invited artists, the exhibition extends across the villa’s salons and upper floors, revealing how illustration can be reimagined through accessibility, collaboration and shared sensory exploration.

The programme features performance-based pieces by the duo Calling the Operator (Axelle Stiefel and Octave Magescas) alongside new editions and sculptural installations by Thomas Hirschhorn and Olivier Mosset. Through typographic interventions, printed matter, performance and austere minimal forms, the project interrogates how language conditions perception and the social life of objects.
