Et pourtant elle tourne ! - Samuel Rousseau

# THE EXHIBITION
Et pourtant elle tourne!
Some forty works illustrate a life story in two tempos. From the deafening din of megalopopolises, to the magic of the cycles of nature, the artist's installations play with illusion, play with the real object and the video image, often fragile, always poetic.

In a teeming alliance of image technologies and recycled objects, the artist stages the clamour of the modern world opposite the infinite time of the universe. He adds a strong dose of humour and a keen poetic narrative. Over-consumption and mass media, the alienation of man, the all-pervasiveness of technology, and the vital spark of nature all feed these works which express a sense of revolt, while remaining light and with the appearance of being funny.

# SAMUEL ROUSSEAU
Samuel Rousseau, a virtuoso of images and IT programming, is known for his passion for science and popular culture. His monumental creation for the 2003 Nuit Blanche in Paris drew strong interest: the video image of a giant caught in a trap at the theatre 'Théâtre de la Gaité Lyrique'. He was nominated for the Marcel Duchamp prize in 2011, and has had continuous exhibitions in France and internationallyl. His works have joined collections in prestigious institutions and outstanding private collections throughout the world.

Public opening:
17 March as of 6pm.

No charge, no reservation.
