Lay of the Land is an artistic conversation between a South African painter, Wonder, and two women artists, Cendres Delort (France) and Sonia Martins Mateus (France-Portugal).
For the 30th anniversary of the festival and the theme is ‘Dialogues Across Place and Time’, this show will question the interconnections between the notion of landscape, the architecture, the body and languages through photographs and paintings.
Our artistic process is guided by reflections on and around landscape, its conceptual scopes and its dimensions, with particular attention to architecture that enters into dialogue with the organic elements that compose it. At three different moments in our compositions and research, this exhibition will enter into dialogue with the Klein Karoo region, connecting spaces and territories (France - South Africa) through works that question thememory contained in the landscape and the body as territory.
This artistic project, research and production are supported by Région Normandie, D.R.A.C. Normandie, RN13BIS (Fr). Sonia Martins Mateus photographs printed at Michèle Gottstein Studio (Normandy,Fr).
