Unusual visit to the ‘Open your eyes’ exhibition with Gaël Bonnefon
Once a month, the Musée des Abattoirs offers unusual tours!
Curious to see the current exhibitions in a different light? Come and spend a convivial moment and discover the works in a different way, to experiment, awaken your senses, react or simply slow down, with a museum mediator and a guest.
Come and visit the ‘Open your eyes’ exhibition in the company of artist photographer Gaël Bonnefon. You'll discover the artist's aesthetic universe and his sources of inspiration. As you wander through the museum galleries, you'll see the exhibition through the eyes of the artist. The tour will be punctuated by discussions with visitors, and will end with the screening of an original short film by Gaël Bonnefon.
Composed essentially of photographs and videos, Gaël Bonnefon's work takes the form of installations (video projections, exhibitions accompanied by soundtracks, etc.) and publications (monographic books).
The different ways in which his photographs appear reflect different ways of reading images and everyday life, which is a recurring theme throughout his work. This ordinary world - landscapes and portraits in which the body plays a decisive role - manifests itself through a form of transfiguration and ambivalence, the fruit of the artist's rigorous involvement with her subjects.
