La Galerie, centre d'art contemporain
Noisy-le-Sec, France
For her first solo exhibition, Charlotte Khouri has used her new film "Nuit majeure" (2020) as the basis for an immersive installation that merges with the art centre space.
Play on language, architectural odds and ends, everyday actions, wigs and assorted other props all intermingle smoothly in the performatory, cinematic and sculptural practice of Charlotte Khouri (b. 1985, lives and works in Paris). In turn TV continuity announcer, therapist for artworks and impersonator second to none, she just loves undercutting our preconceptions with sensory twists and turns and unexpected perceptual insights. Result: a subtle balancing act that has the semantic and the visual simultaneously complementing and contradicting each other.
