Lili Reynaud-Dewar's 'Hello, my name is Lili and we are many' at Palais de Tokyo
Lili Reynaud-Dewar's exhibition at Palais de Tokyo in Paris, titled 'Hello, my name is Lili and we are many', runs until January 7, 2024. The show is divided into two sections. The first features a 970-minute documentary in 19 episodes created with the Gruppo Petrolio collective, referencing Pier Paolo Pasolini's unfinished novel 'Petrolio'. The second section contains reconstructed hotel rooms where intimate interviews with colleagues, family, and friends are projected. Email exchanges between the artist and the curatorial committee are printed on walls, and videos show Reynaud-Dewar dancing nude in the museum. All works are site-specific. The exhibition explores themes of solitude, intimacy, and the political role of the artist, drawing on Guy Debord's concept of the spectacle.
