Anne et Patrick Poirier's Summer Exhibitions in Avignon and L'Isle-sur-Sorgue
In the summer of 2009, Anne and Patrick Poirier showcased two exhibitions. "Vertiges, vestiges," held at Chapelle Saint-Charles in Avignon from July 4 to September 30, included a reflective floor, a glowing ladder, ancient relics, and a film featuring sounds from their late son. Meanwhile, at Maison René Char in L'Isle-sur-Sorgue, from July 4 to October 11, the exhibition presented "Cerveau de l'archéologue," herbarium research, and "Amnesia," which illustrated a city of lost memories intended for future archaeologists in 2235 AD. Additionally, two books were released: "Anne et Patrick Poirier, vertiges/Vestiges" by Gallimard and "L'Atelier de Anne et Patrick Poirier" published by Thalia édition.
