"Bribes"

Free access

★ From 28 October to 23 November ★

Curated and designed by Gilles Elie-dit-Cosaque

Bribes is a collection of gazes that unite as one; the gazes of about fifteen contemporary artists: photographers, graphic designers, writers from these fragments of land scattered across the four corners of the globe, yet grouped under the designation "French overseas regions".

These offbeat viewpoints on their world, our world, meet, resonate, and juxtapose, coming together as a visual poem, where the space between each image - an open door to the viewer's imagination - carries just as much meaning as the images themselves.
