Domaine de Chamarande, 38 rue du Commandant Arnoux - 91730 Chamarande
From May 18, 2024 to December 29, 2024
This exhibition explores the mutations of the body, looking at developments in physical and psychic bodies, both real and imaginary
The title of the exhibition, "Vieilles coques et jeunes récifs", evokes the metaphor of the body as an envelope doomed to entropy, which can be replaced or revitalised by new technologies. The exhibition explores the physical and psychic transformations of the body in response to demands for performance, adaptability and treatment. Works of art, scientific installations and testimonials from sportsmen and women explore the limits of the human body and its ability to adapt to extreme environments and situations.
