« Exhibiting, presenting things in public, always means addressing time. The present that leads us to the future, projects that are already being transported to reality. Also, the present of that which is clearly finished, and a trace of the past that has brought us to this point. An exhibition allows us to salvage, for a moment, materials produced in different contexts, to support ideas, explain stories or understand a world. Its ephemeral function plays the greatest role here : models, videos, drawings, texts, in our case always instrumental, subordinate to the work that ultimately has to be understood and appreciated without them. Materials that anticipated stories, some just dreamt of. The exhibition is a dissection of our present work, with some explorations into the past, the origin of our presence here. » JLLM
