Exposition
ELOÏSE LEGA - ABSENCES
- Galerie
Disappearance is only complete when those who remember also disappear. When every trace – however infinitesimal – can no longer express anything. Yet, if a memory survives, if the image can be brought back to life, albeit just for a moment, then the absence – and sometimes even the presence – is conjured up...

Eloïse Lega, absence, 2022 - in progress, installation etching + photography (slide projection)
Absences is my first solo exhibition. I am presenting six pieces examining different aspects of absence at Le Botanique. In this show, I invite you to immerse yourselves in the absence of unknown people, in the solitude we experience in derelict places, in the traces of a past life etched in the tiles of our homes, and even in the gaps in our memories as time goes by... Is absence merely a bygone era, or is it a powerful reminder of a past presence?
