Subheadline

"Blue hour Dark lakes" is a personal show by French-Polish artist Alicia Zaton, co-founder of DOC ! in Paris.   For Alicia Zaton, shape is a material which reacts to the present, while also bound to a memory and consciousness of its past. She calls forth our memories of what is foreign within us and opens up the possibility of parallel time lines.   She invites for this show two friends and artists, Constantin Kyriakopoulos and Maya de Mondragon to collaborate on installations and sculptures. The show is accompanied by a song and poem by Tatiana Karl Pez written for the occasion.

SONG OF WHAT WAS HUMAN ONCE I meander and I get greener. In a fulfilled enclosure of songs, my body beats, slowly, in the wind gushing forth from chasms ! Smouldering specks of life, scarlet dropped shadows, come up to see me I offer fresh and delicate waters to your dazed mouths, to your mouths spoiled for wanting everything. Seen it all, had it all. To see everything, to have everything. To see it all, to have it all. Let us drown your ancient sorrows of the ebb and flow, in the breath, the living breath ! Of the abyss. I meander I go greener, Happily, gracefully In the chasm's breath From afar in time What do I hear ? The gentle jingling of objects at bay Before the abyss. Let us light the wick again. Let’s become you again, Let's become me again.
