Some forms travel through time.
Through a sensitive and experimental photographic practice, Maxime Passadore explores the classical forms and sacred symbols that continue to resonate across centuries. Neo-archaeological fragments, contemporary artefacts, and reimagined relics compose a body of work where past and present converge.
The title Atramentum refers to the carbon-black ink of antiquity, historically associated with writing, the preservation of knowledge, and the transmission of stories. Here, it becomes a material of revelation, absorbing light and directing the gaze toward the image and its evocative power.
At the heart of the exhibition, a series dedicated to the Assyrian Lamassu explores the dialogue between ancient craftsmanship and contemporary creation through photogravure on copper and the transformative effects of oxidation.
With Mémoires Carbone : Atramentum, Maxime Passadore investigates the mystery of sacred figures and the narratives that continue to shape our collective imagination.
It is not the artworks that cross the centuries, but the stories they inspire.

Thank you to everyone who visited Oussama Garti’s solo exhibition.

In this new series, Oussama Garti explores what, within our experience of the world, resists disappearance. Between tension and suspension, his works attempt to hold on to the elusive: a tremor, an emotion, the trace of an inner movement.

The sculpted reliefs of Ripples fix the fabric within the material, like the memory of a vibration. The paintings of Odyssey draw inspiration from water, its depths, its shifting surfaces, its infinite variations of blue.

For the first time, these two lines of research meet. The drapery receives colour, and the material seems to be permeated by a liquid memory. The forms evoke foam, waves, and the silent rhythms of a surface in perpetual transformation.
