Katerina Jebb’s exhibition “Blonds de votre enfance” at Banane d’Eux, Hyères
Blondes of Your Childhood explores the material world as a site where memory, symbolism, and historical relics quietly accumulate. Comprising forty studies of disparate objects, the exhibition resists chronology in favour of proximity; objects are not specified or contextualized, but held in a state of deliberate stillness. The works assembled here form a constellation of disassociated objects: a letter from Marie Antoinette, smuggled out of the Conciergerie in 1793 shortly before her execution, a Western Union telegram sent by Marcel Duchamp to Francis Picabia on the day of his death in 1953, Frida Kahlo’s Medical Corset, Pope Jean Paul II’s Red Shoes and Fallen White Pigment a large-scale study of the painter Balthus’s studio.
On view until March 30th
