Nicolas Milhé's 'Casus Belli' at Frac Aquitaine

Nicolas Milhé's exhibition 'Casus Belli' at Frac Aquitaine (October 2 – December 19, 2009) presents works that emphasize precision and circulation over direct confrontation. The show includes a meurtrière in a mountain landscape, Andean musicians facing gypsies, a stuffed hyena with gold teeth, mirrors impacted by optical peepholes forming constellations, and a fragment of military infrastructure with a bunker. These pieces create calls without fixity, enabling combinations and vitalization, and fostering alternations of coincidence and competition, rupture and renewal. Milhé's works generate bursts of stories, situations, and resonances, developing influences that overlap and expand zones of passage. They are defined by atmospheres that detach from their initial data, producing disconcerting shifts and shocks. The exhibition runs through December 19, 2009, at Frac Aquitaine in Bordeaux.
