Marie-Céline Delibiot at Decimus Magnus Art, Bordeaux

exhibition · 2026-04-23

Marie-Céline Delibiot's exhibition at Decimus Magnus Art in Bordeaux, running from September 13 to November 3, 2001, presents a photographic series that eschews fiction, nostalgia, or sociological observation. Her lens captures fragile moments of imbalance, focusing on a young woman undressing on a winter beach. The work explores the interplay of presence and distance, body and gaze, creating a suspended narrative that resists closure. Critic Didier Arnaudet notes that Delibiot's images solicit imagination and emotion, positioning the viewer both inside and outside the scene. The photographs are described as fragments of time, emphasizing duration and exchange over action or urgency.
