Charlotte Moth's Kaleidoscopic Thought at Parc Saint Léger

exhibition · 2026-04-24

At Parc Saint Léger, Charlotte Moth's exhibition weaves a labyrinthine path connecting Max Ernst to Donatello, Barbara Hepworth to Claude Parent. Ten display cases from her series Choreography of the Image: Inserts (substitute) physically and conceptually frame the show, presenting photographs from her ongoing Travelogue (1999–present). These images form a Warburgian atlas of domestic spaces, telluric landscapes, geometric objects, and architecture. Moth's film Filmic Sketches documents Barbara Hepworth's abandoned studio, while Lurking Sculptures reincarnates Hepworth's plants in 3D. Backdrops features a wheeled table reflecting a paper sky. The film The Story of a Different Thought explores empty modernist corridors. Light Structure projects colored halos onto a dance floor without dancers, referencing a disused nightclub at the park entrance. Scattered hands of children drawing appear in Filmic Sketches, while Living Images shows hands emerging from a wall holding a glass lens and a door handle. As sunlight shifts, reflective surfaces and filters on windows transform the park into an aged photograph, emphasizing the works' temporal depth and ongoing reconfiguration.
