"I love you so much without knowing how else to love you"
This sentence concludes a beautiful poem by Cécile Coulon, in which the author talks about her grandmother. It crystallizes the difficulty of thinking about the loves that bind us to people, places or things. These are intimate acts that are nonetheless strongly determined and socially agreed upon through narrow and ageing imaginations.
Art has produced and sacralized the figure of Mutter Courage, the Romantic myth of Heloise and Abelard, and national and patriotic allegories. These images freeze the idea of the necessary love we should feel towards our family or homeland, or the binarity of romantic relationships. But artistic production also allows us to rethink and criticize what these images have helped to create. How else can we envisage this feeling? Even more difficult, how can we envisage its absence at times?
La friche invites us to explore the theme of love through an exhibition that invites us to reflect on our conceptions of love and, above all, the imaginary worlds that underlie them. The place's name is particularly appropriate, as this feeling is itself in the wasteland, that is to say, shifting, changing, forcing us to constantly rethink it so that it remains something embodied and alive.
