"Black Room: Before Coming to Light, Musée du Vieux Nîmes"
Dive into a captivating artistic experience at the Musée du Vieux Nîmes! For this unique occasion, artist Jeanne Vicerial and the master of abstraction Pierre Soulages_officiel meet in a fascinating posthumous dialogue, exploring the infinite possibilities of black and light. The immersive installation created by Vicerial and her team, in collaboration with students from the Lycée Ernest Hemingway of Nîmes, invites you on a sensory journey where rebirth and metamorphosis are at the heart of the experience. Through plays of light, textures, and carefully crafted visual elements, this installation offers a new interpretation of Soulages' work while highlighting the singularity of Vicerial's artistic approach. The exhibition becomes a place where past and present meet, where the light of black finds a new dimension in a space dedicated to the history of Nîmes.
This innovative installation transforms the museum into a field of experimentation where each visitor can lose themselves in the silent exchange between the artworks. The young creators from the Lycée Ernest Hemingway, guided by the artist, have contributed their personal touch to this large-scale artistic project. Their involvement opens a dialogue between generations and disciplines, where young talents can express themselves alongside major figures of contemporary art. Each piece in the installation echoes a poetic vision of black, which has become both a color and a light, a symbol of transformation, passage, and rebirth.
