On Monday October 14, French artist Ga\u00eblle Choisne was awarded the Prix Marcel Duchamp 2024. Her multimedia installation, which fuses her interest in the occult sciences, care and the living, can be seen at the Centre Pompidou until January 6. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n

Artist Ga\u00eblle Choisne<\/strong> stands out for her innovative project presented in one of the Centre Pompidou’s galleries. A strange island of earth, adorned with five mounds, takes pride of place in the center. Atop each mound, ceramic shells house videos and stories imbued with mysticism. This installation perfectly illustrates Choisne’s vision of combining art and spirituality. <\/p>\n\n

Art and mysticism<\/h2>\n\n

For nearly ten years, the artist has been exploring the links between the human and the living<\/strong> through a variety of media. She uses painting, sculpture, collage and video. Her works often incorporate elements such as shells, exotic fruits, talismans and charms. Her inspiration comes from rituals, Creole mythology and the occult sciences, notably astrology and cartomancy. His project for the Centre Pompidou is entitled L’\u00c8re du Verseau<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n

Choisne’s films, a mix of documentary and fiction, deal with the colonial history of Haiti. As her mother was originally from the island,<\/strong> she is interested in the traces left by slavery and the oppression of Afrodescendant populations. Her project at the Centre Pompidou features projections, called “Ruches”, on a central island. At the far end, large wooden boards display cut-out photos and cryptic inscriptions. Also on display are her Pause-clopes,<\/strong> mini-altars where she deposits cigarettes found in China. <\/p>\n\n
