Anne Deleporte's Poetic Exhibition at rueVisconti-éditions

Anne Deleporte presents a restrained exhibition at rueVisconti-éditions in Paris from April 12 to June 30, 2013, exploring themes of appearance and disappearance. The show features newspaper pages pinned in diptychs or series, floating in air currents, evoking the tension before a film begins or the moment before a newspaper is printed. The pages, marked by folds and cuts, reveal streaks and marbling resembling lightning or landscapes in blue, pink, yellow, and green. A video shows a ribbon attached to a stick waving in the wind, set to Prokofiev or traffic sounds, alternately suggesting a conductor or a traffic officer from a Jacques Tati scene. Another video depicts zebras that are actually donkeys that survived the Gaza bombings, painted with stripes by locals to amuse children; frightened mothers step aside as they pass. Opposite, large sheets of paper striped in black are painted by Deleporte over a projected image of a donkey. Under the stairs, a moon made of foam glows.
