Didier Bay's Labyrinthine Perception at Galerie de France
The French artist Didier Bay, known for his mental constructions challenging perception, presented his latest work "Sur la route des Pyramides" (1984) at Galerie de France in Paris. The exhibition, reviewed in artpress in March 1986, draws an analogy between the labyrinthine path to a pharaoh's burial chamber and Bay's artistic practice. His work is described as a labyrinthine mental construction that questions the givens of perception. The piece "Sur la route des Pyramides" exemplifies this approach, using the pyramid as a metaphor for complex perceptual experiences. The review highlights Bay's ongoing exploration of how viewers navigate and interpret visual and spatial cues.
