EXHIBITION: ELSA & JOHANNA

CLIMBING INTO ANOTHER SKIN – THE MANY LIVES OF ELSA AND JOHANNA

Until March 18, 2024

In the focus of the exhibition stands the duo’s latest project, which explores female identity by looking at the hidden emotions of the characters. The point of departure for « Ce que vaut une femme : Les douze heures du jour et de la nuit » (What a Woman is Worth: The Twelve Hours of Day and Night) was a book found in an attic, a 1893 tome on the moral and practical education of young girls, whose content the artists found equally edifying and comical. The works, which evoke a sense of nostalgia, explore the diversity of identity in the spaces of the house and the settings of personal space, highlighting the multiple characters inherent in a personality and the possibilities of individual freedom.

Elsa & Johanna

To accompany the re-edition of the book, we wanted a woman's perspective to bring her sensitivity and emotions to this work from another time. We have chosen to give carte blanche to the duo of female artists Elsa & Johanna who present an original series and a singular and offbeat response to the book.
