PASCALE MARTHINE TAYOU 'Petits Riens'

In summer 2023, the Collection Lambert will devote the entire two floors of the Hôtel de Montfaucon to the Cameroonian artist Pascale Marthine Tayou. Tayou has been a close friend of the Collection for almost 10 years, and took part in the major exhibition in the former Sainte-Anne prison, La disparition des lucioles, where his Poupées and geniuses imbued the former prison cells with their poetic presence.

Now, at the Collection Lambert, he is unveiling a new project in which most of the works have been designed and produced for the venue.

Entitled Petits Riens, the exhibition takes the form of a sensitive journey through the 'chaos of the world', to borrow a phrase from Edouard Glissant. Each installation becomes a pretext for an open conversation in which our deepest convictions are challenged, and in which new situations are invented, giving rise to new ways of looking at the world.
