le commun des mortels, “Look, you shall see” – Érika Nimis

Ciel variable 132 - TABLEAUX | Essays
Authors: Erika Nimis | Artists: le commun des mortels

An unusual exhibition both for its content (damaged photographs) and for the sheer number of images, Dommage ! revealed the accumulative work of ordinary people (Jacques Barbier and Élise Pic). Drawn to collecting devalued, rejected, and even discarded images, the duo challenges “the notions of authorship, originality, and artistic value.” This is what Érika Nimis observed, describing the experience as akin to visiting “a cabinet of wonders.”
