Mathilde Supe's 'You Can't Run from Love' at Salon de Montrouge
During the 64th Salon de Montrouge, held from April 27 to May 22, 2019, artist Mathilde Supe presented her video work titled "You Can't Run from Love." Although it did not receive an award, this nine-minute piece stood out for its innovative approach within the theme "What We Are Together and What Others Are Not."
