Caroline Rivalan

Persona muta

Du 9 avril au 28 mai 2022.

La galerie Eva Vautier a le plaisir de présenter la première exposition personnelle de Caroline Rivalan, Persona muta. Ce projet bénéficie du soutien du Cnap (Centre national des arts plastiques).

Caroline Rivalan a exploré les mythes féminins et l’aspect hédoniste de la nature croisés entre figure et folie. Les images qu’elle produit dans des microcosmes (dioramas) ou dispositifs d’installation lumineuse, lui permettent de croiser gravité et légèreté.

Pour l’exposition Persona muta, l’artiste s’est intéressée à la théâtralisation des patientes du Professeur Charcot à la Salpêtrière. La figure du Grand Hypnotiseur et de la Grande Hystérique sont des figures incontournables en cette fin de siècle. Les expériences réalisées sur ces femmes dîtes ‘‘hystériques’’ sont documentées, grâce au dispositif photographique installé in situ.

This project is supported by the Cnap (Centre national des arts plastiques).

Caroline Rivalan explored the feminine myths and the hedonistic aspect of nature crossed between figure and madness. The images she produces in microcosms (dioramas) or light installation devices, allow her to cross gravity and lightness. [/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”70px”][vc_column_text]For the Persona muta exhibition, the artist was interested in the theatricalization of Professor Charcot’s patients at the Salpêtrière. The figure of the Great Hypnotist and the Great Hysteric are unavoidable figures at the end of the century. The experiments carried out on these so-called “hysterical” women are documented, thanks to the photographic device installed in situ.

The making and reception of images produced during these experiments are questioned in The Invention of Hysteria by Georges Didi Huberman. Professor Charcot’s Tuesday lessons make public and “spectacular” the actions under hypnosis of these interned women where he stages the pathological body, the unchained feminine.

Caroline Rivalan’s research project revolves around the figure of madness and the instrumentalisation of women. The work on these archival images, allows to transform the object into subject and thus to remove the authority figure which orchestrates these representations, to displace the relation of established power. It is about the deconstruction of the relationships of dominations. [/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”70px”][vc_column_text]
