The Musée d'art contemporain in Lyon, France, hosted a dual exhibition featuring Swiss artist Lori Hersberger and South African artist Kendell Geers from September 19, 2009, to January 4, 2009. The show brought together two distinct contemporary practices, exploring themes of perception, identity, and spatial intervention. Hersberger, known for his immersive installations and use of light, presented works that challenge visual boundaries. Geers, whose work often confronts political and social issues, contributed pieces that engage with violence, memory, and the sacred. The exhibition ran concurrently, creating a dialogue between their approaches.
