Project
Paper States
Atelier Sud, Paris · 20 Jan 2024 – 30 Mar 2024 · Curator
Paper States gathers a small group of works around a single, patient idea.
The proposition
Rather than illustrate a theme, the exhibition lets the works hold a question open — about material, attention, and the time an image asks of us.
Curation here is editing in space: what to place beside what, and what to leave out.
