The Château des Baux-de-Provence presents the exhibition Bifurquer as part of Arts Ephémères – Itinérances, an invitation to rethink our human trajectory through contemporary art.
Elias Kurdy, with his work Cerbères, reimagines the mythological guardian of the Underworld as a floral figure, symbolizing the transformation needed in response to today’s ecological challenges.
Its three flowered heads represent the forces of destruction, preservation, and reconstruction, confronting us with the urgent need to shift toward a more sustainable balance.
Cyrille André, meanwhile, explores human tensions through monumental sculptures:
-
Zone de Rupture illustrates a violent transition between the human and the organic, questioning identity and transformation.
-
Tsar and L’échine du temps, soul-carrying horses, evoke collective memory and the duality between rootedness and aspiration, past and future, strength and fragility.
-
Bâtisseur de cathédrales pays tribute to the builders of all eras.
This giant Sisyphus echoes the ancient ruins of the Château that have endured through the centuries.
