Renaud Auguste-Dormeuil's Solo Exhibition at Maison des arts de Malakoff

The solo exhibition by Renaud Auguste-Dormeuil at the Maison des arts de Malakoff, running from September 15 to December 12, 2010, offers a critical exploration of themes such as image creation, authority, and representation. A highlight of the show is 'Apoapside' (2010), which utilizes telescope mirrors to reflect the location where Galileo showcased his telescope on April 14, 1611. These mirrors, presented six months apart, allude to the Japanese practice of capturing the emperor's sacred image. The collection also includes 'Best Wishes' (2010), featuring the 'Fat Man' bomb used in Nagasaki, and 'The Day Before' (2007), which presents images from before the disaster. Additional works comprise 'Les Ambitieux,' 'Hôtel des transmissions,' 'Parc Automobile,' 'Quatre Itinéraires,' 'Contre-Projet Panopticon,' 'Écriture nocturne,' and 'Code International Sol/Air.' The exhibition is curated by Raphael Cuir.
