Contemporary western societies tend towards an ideal of preservation, individual protection and well-being that permeates through all instances of a daily life that sometimes ends up feeling like a utopia.<\/p>\n

From urban development projects (Laurence Bonvin, Line Chollet) to sperm and stem cell banks (Yann Mingard), from the links between the animal and plant kingdoms (Graziella Antonini) to the social construction of bodies and their making (Anoush Abrar), the real see itself submerged, here, by ideals falling prey to forms of limitations to the liberties of doing, being, and thinking. The Breath Down Our Back<\/em> questions these issues through plural insights.<\/p>\n

While the human gure is only rarely shown in an explicit way, it haunts each one of the pieces, slithering in to impose its centrality. The presence \u2013 or absence \u2013 of the human allows to question the needs and fears of a society which is slowly torn apart by a compulsion for preservation, which, often, prevents protection against forms of social ostracism (Anne-Julie Raccoursier). Playing on the cracks between real and fiction, The Breath On Our Back<\/em> questions the oscillating movements between what is shown and what can only be guessed: from prison cells to fake military exercises (Clovis Baechtold, Elisa Larvego), from the social codi cation of bodies to the intimate fear of death (Virginie Rebetez), each visual proposition holds elements that call for discovery, then questioning, so as to allow them to be placed in a global comprehension of humanity\u2019s becoming.<\/p>\n

Une exposition soulignant les liens entre hygi\u00e8ne et utopie, soit entre les pr\u00e9occupations constantes de pr\u00e9servation, de s\u00e9curisation et de bien-\u00eatre, et les d\u00e9rives propres \u00e0 la poursuite de cet id\u00e9al.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Breath On Our Back<\/em> aborde une probl\u00e9matique ancr\u00e9e depuis des si\u00e8cles dans l\u2019histoire de l\u2019humanit\u00e9, et dont la constance rel\u00e8ve de pr\u00e9occupations directement li\u00e9es au bien-\u00eatre et \u00e0 la sant\u00e9. De la d\u00e9esse grecque Hygie \u00e0 l\u2019Utopie de Thomas More, des r\u00e8gles d\u2019urbanisme pour une cit\u00e9 id\u00e9ale \u00e9voqu\u00e9es par Jules Verne (Les Cinq Cents Millions de la B\u00e9gum<\/em>) aux d\u00e9veloppements incessants <\/span>de la m\u00e9decine moderne et de ses influences sur le corps et l\u2019esprit, l\u2019homme r\u00e9fl\u00e9chit et agit dans une perspective faisant toujours se croiser l\u2019individu et le devenir collectif. Hygi\u00e8ne, pr\u00e9servation et protection de l\u2019\u00eatre humain fac\u0327onnent ainsi la soci\u00e9t\u00e9 dans une volont\u00e9 d\u2019am\u00e9lioration, sans pouvoir emp\u00eacher, parfois, les d\u00e9rives propres \u00e0 toute poursuite d\u2019un id\u00e9al.<\/span><\/p>\n

La soci\u00e9t\u00e9 occidentale contemporaine tend vers un id\u00e9al de protection, de s\u00e9curisation et de bien-\u00eatre individuel qui se d\u00e9ploie dans tous les instants d\u2019un quotidien aux accents, parfois, d\u2019utopie. De projets urbanistiques aux banques de conservation de sperme, des liens tiss\u00e9s entre monde v\u00e9g\u00e9tal, animal et humain \u00e0 la construction sociale des corps et de leur devenir, le r\u00e9el se voit submerg\u00e9, ici, par des id\u00e9aux en proie \u00e0 des formes de r\u00e9tr\u00e9cissement des libert\u00e9s de faire, d\u2019\u00eatre et de penser. The Breath On Our Back<\/em> questionne ces enjeux par le biais de perspectives plurielles qui s\u2019inscrivent dans une dynamique de monstration critique.<\/span><\/p>\n
