The fifteen collages and six Polaroids by Andrea Szilasi brought together under the title Réfléchir prompted a response from Alexis Desgagnés marked by both sensitivity and restraint. “I realized that I had to speak not only about an exhibition but about this unique and paradoxical experience,” he writes. While he carefully describes the works, which emerge from a “manual, gestural, instinctive” process, he argues that the notions of space and the body provide the framework that “were key to reflecting” on the exhibition as a whole.
