An infinite exhibition fills the nave: Laurent Grasso’s ANIMA
The world of analogies and meaning takes on its full scope, resonances prevail over impoverishing causality. Instead of being the sum of possessed objects, the world becomes the unity of all the spaces granted to the entities that populate it.
– Grégory Quenet, curator of ANIMA
The exhibition ANIMA by contemporary multimedia artist Laurent Grasso offers a remarkable and unique representation of the Earth. The exhibition was produced in collaboration with the initiative ‘Laudato si. For a new exploration of the Earth’ at the Collège des Bernardins, which strives to reflect on the crucial issue of ecological change through the lens of combined perspectives using scientific, spiritual, and artistic approaches in an innovative way. A constellation of images, objects, and media – oil paintings, digital video, sculpture, neon lights, operational images of LIDAR scanners, scientific measuring instruments, and gaseous and vaporous emanations like flames and clouds – is unfolding in the great Cistercian nave of the Collège des Bernardins, for which the exhibition was specifically conceived.
