À quoi rêvent les Ondes? Bones & Clouds

About

After having occupied the public and institutional spaces with monumental installations at MusVerre and the Soissons Museum in 2023, Bones & Clouds collective (founded in 2021) invites us to enter the intimacy of the gallery for an exploration of the invisible, this time placing waves, considered as the very essence of Life, at the center of their artistic approach.

Since her debut at Galerie Da-End in 2012, Kim KototamaLune, a prominent member of the collective, has always been in search of the invisible. Her approach, both contemplative and poetic, finds its expression today through her virtuosic mastery of glass, in synergy with the innovative video projections of her fellow artists, J-B. Sallé and S. Baz. Together, they merge the realms of art, science, and spirituality.

In this universe, made of undulating frequencies, both tangible and ethereal, we are invited, through the transparency of glass and beams of light, to perceive a dimension that usually eludes us. From the depths of the ocean to the confines of our inner selves, from the architecture of the brain to our embodied beliefs, the Waves reveal themselves as a vital flow, luminous, corpuscular, and sonorous.

At the heart of the exhibition, an installation titled "D'ici Peu…" features a rock suspended from a pendulum, brushing against a bed of organic glass sculptures. This incessant back and forth illustrates the frequency at which the dense and the fragile, balance and imbalance confront each other. This friction, this constant vibration between apparently opposite states, invites a reflection on the human condition. With the piece "R.Y.Z.O.H.M," brainwaves irrigate and link the complex fabric of our brain to computer circuits through generative art. This creation raises the question of technology as a possible extension of our thoughts and consciousness. Everywhere, waves propagate concentrically and densify just like the materials that make up the installations, highlighting the role of frequencies in the constitution of all organic forms. As for the series of glass cubes, evoking to be living cells containing these 'embryo waves' in their full mutation. This continuous flow of liquid waves gives life to a mirrored structure that captures and reflects light, creating a visual dynamic that suggests a continuous flow, like a current of liquid waves animating a reflective space. Together, these works illustrate the complexity of perception and interpretation, showing that images and ideas are always in motion, eluding a fixed or univocal understanding. Moving from the intimate to the cosmic, this exploration highlights the dialogue between the inner and outer ecologies, while creating spaces conducive to contemplation and reconnection with the intimate.

Just as Einstein dreamt of riding a beam of light, this exhibition is an invitation to ride the waves to contemplate the union between the infinitely small and the infinitely vibrant, and all the mysterious beauty and their impact on our reality. Through the universal and fascinating prism of waves, Bones & Clouds open the doors to a world where art acts as a bridge between the visible and the invisible, between the known and the unfathomable mystery.
