Malou Martinelli – À peine déplacé

by Malou Martinelli

À peine déplacé is an installation composed of a wooden sculpture and a video. It unfolds around a carefully chosen wall, which serves as a spatial and narrative anchor. In an approach that is both intimate and speculative, the installation explores the notion of home — and, more broadly, the built environment — as a place of projection, memory, transformation and unease. The narratives that run through it appear fragmented, sometimes discontinuous, much like the memories that constitute them. The body is constrained within it, put under strain, caught in spaces that oscillate between familiarity and strangeness. From this friction emerge ambiguous, dream-like experiences, where the familiar gradually slips away, creating a sense of diffuse imbalance.

SLAP !

with Geoffrey Cottenceau, Gina Proenza

Whether it’s a parade, a particle accelerator or a dance ball, SLAP invites you to inhabit a space from a gravitational perspective. Positioned on the boundary between two and three dimensions, the works are subject to centrifugal laws and find themselves exchanging with one another to create fortuitous narratives, as if the continuous round of which they were a part of had suddenly come to a halt. The exhibition space becomes the site of a fundamentally social event - in terms of the works it hosts and the exhibition context - and reveals the social perspective that the works hold in rela- tion to each other. Like a boring chat with a friend of a friend, some pieces are overwhelmed by their conversations, while others lend themselves easily to them. You’ll have no hesitation in intercepting some of the phrases exchanged between the works, while having the opportunity to: reply/nego- tiate/argue with the social time-space that SLAP, as a real static meeting point, offers for an evening.
