An Act of Attention
When: 11.11.2026 12:00
Where: 48.858105, 2.362298

The exhibition brings together seven contemporary artists: Marguerite Bornhauser (France), Theo Elias (Sweden), Tom Hallgren (Sweden), Salad Hilowle (Sweden), Massao Mascaro (France), Iris Millot (France) and Ela Polkowska (Sweden). Coming from varied contexts and backgrounds, they share a common desire: to show something authentic, rooted in reality—a experience, a presence, a fragment of the observed world. Their multiple practices explore the possibilities of the photographic medium with particular attention to the materiality of the image, while, for some, opening up to broader forms close to installation or sculpture.
Each, through their own language, directs their gaze toward human realities, intimate or collective. Together, their works create a space of resonances where narratives intersect, respond to each other, and enrich one another.
Beyond the encounter of the works in the exhibition space, the project places essential importance on exchanges between the artists. Gathered for four days at the Institut suédois, they will have previously participated in a workshop designed as a research laboratory, led by French photographer Sophie Ristelhueber, laureate of the Hasselblad prize 2025. This time of collective work and reflection opens an experimental space where practices confront each other, transform, and renew.
Thus, the exhibition is as much about showing as it is about activating: it brings forth a network of relationships built on inspiration, collaboration, and transmission.
