Nanténé Traoré — pays des merveilles

Nanténé Traoré (1993, Paris) is an artist who lives and works in Brussels.

His solo exhibition "pays des merveilles" brings together a series created in Brittany last summer using expired film from the 1990s. Their chemical degradation alters colors and blurs images, from which fleeting visions emerge — shores, birds, stray dogs, familiar sleeping silhouettes.

Traversed by hazy blue or orange lights, the forms slide into one another: bodies become landscapes, landscapes become inner states. The exhibition brings together chromogenic prints, velvet prints, and a video, extending these images into materials that are themselves sensitive
