Entre poésie et politique, Julien Creuzet déploie une œuvre fragmentée où se croisent histoires oubliées, imaginaires lointains et réalités sociales.

Julien Creuzet is an artist, videographer, performer and poet. He links forgotten, minority histories and imaginary representations of distant places with the social realities of the here and now. His exhibition at the Palais de Tokyo, which visit is rhythmed by a soundtrack composed specifically for it, takes the form of an immersive environment akin to a large public space suffused with the permanent state of tension that characterizes our era. It presents a multiplicity of different works and offers an array of disjointed narratives. Preferring anachronism to the linearity of established stories, Creuzet thus invokes poetry and politics to unfold a mobile imaginary that brings together different temporalities and geographies.

From a background rich in literature and the history of arts and architecture-as well as psychoanalysis, spiritism and magic-Ulla von Brandenburg explores the shaping of our social constructs with borrowings from theatrical codes and mechanisms, together with esoteric rituals and popular ceremonies. For her exhibition at the Palais de Tokyo she has conceived a total, constantly evolving project inspired by the theatre, its imaginary realm and its conventions. With ritual as her starting point, she invites the public to experience an immersive reinterpretation of the themes, forms and motifs-including movement, the stage, colour, music and textiles-that fuel her oeuvre.

Nourrie de littérature, d'histoire des arts et de l'architecture, mais aussi de psychanalyse, de spiritisme et de magie, Ulla von Brandenburg emprunte aussi bien aux codes et aux mécanismes du théâtre qu'aux rituels ésotériques et aux cérémonies populaires afin d'explorer la construction de nos structures sociales. Pour son exposition au Palais de Tokyo, elle a imaginé un projet total et évolutif, inspiré du théâtre, de son imaginaire et de ses conventions. Autour de la notion de rituel, l'artiste invite le public à prendre part à une expérience immersive et renouvelée des thèmes, des formes et des motifs qui irriguent son oeuvre : le mouvement, la scène, la couleur, la musique, le textile...
