Pascale Marthine Tayou - Petits Riens

He has been close to the Avignon institution for nearly ten years, and took part in the major exhibition at the old Sainte-Anne prison, entitled 'La Disparition des lucioles' (2014). There, his dolls and crystal genies filled the former jail cells with their poetic presence.
Now, he is rolling out a first-of-its-kind project at the Collection Lambert, with no less than ten new monumental works, and four existing works all of which have been thought and rethought for the space in which they will be displayed. In all, twenty-three installations will occupy the museum's rooms.
Entitled 'Petits Riens', the exhibition is presented as a sensitive journey through the 'chaos-world' to borrow the expression by Edouard Glissant. Each installation becomes the pretext for an open conversation in which our deepest convictions come unravelled; invention situations that give rise to new ways of looking at the world.
