Exposition "50 cm au-dessus du seuil" par Alexis Defortescu
The Tuesday 27 October at 10 a.m00
Château de Carrouges 61320 CARROUGES
At the Château de Carrouges, Alexis Defortescu transforms the garden into an immersive experience where order is thrown into disarray. Between tamed nature and untamed nature, his installation unfolds a suburban landscape that is both familiar and disorienting. Geometric hedges, structured furniture, clean lines: at first, everything seems under control… until nature intrudes and silently upsets this balance.
Through a series of paintings inspired by the Impressionist legacy, the artist blurs the boundaries between contemplation and unease. The visitor moves through a space where the beauty of forms confronts a disturbing reality: that of rising waters and the fragility of our domestic environments.
Created using recycled materials and repurposed furniture, the project is part of a coherent ecological approach, while posing a fundamental question: what remains of our living spaces in the face of natural forces? Blending visual poetry with a sensory alert, this exhibition invites everyone to rethink their relationship with nature and anticipate the transformations to come.
A project supported by the Splash initiative led by RN13BIS—contemporary art in Normandy—thanks to the support of the DRAC Normandy and the Normandy Region.
