The narrative of the exhibition BETWIXT!! is unfolding within the space the artworks do not occupy. Céline Struger’s and Luca Sabot’s pieces form a curtain between restrained emotions and evocative rituals. Sabot’s mechanical constructs are tools of distancing, they structure intense emotions into mechanical frameworks that allow sensing the outer edges of an inner turmoil. Céline’s sculpture collages use symbolism and mythology, weaving together elements of ritual and storytelling to create not objects, but moments in a ritual of summoning.
The two artists' works orbit a shared emotional core, creating a space where release and repression coexist.
