Exhibition
The Weight of Light
Fondation Rivière, Lyon · 15 Sep 2022 – 8 Jan 2023 · Curator
The Weight of Light 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.
