France Dubois: Image/imatge at Orthez

exhibition · 2026-04-23

France Dubois's exhibition "Image/imatge" at Orthez, France, from April 11 to May 24, 2008, presents her photography and video works that recontextualize documentary images to create new narrative threads. The two-screen video "Volta" navigates the circulation spaces of a Parisian university, inducing a visual vertigo through its magnetic flow of colors and routes. The photographic series "Cadre moyen" examines the passive side of office life, accumulating details like addresses, phone numbers, post-it notes, and office supplies without resolving into a coherent story. Dubois's images transform absence into presence, yet that presence is fragmented by voids and partitions, creating a labyrinthine complexity. The exhibition invites viewers to lose themselves rather than find a way out.
