“Caroline Rivalan explores feminine myths and the hedonistic aspect of nature by appropriating images that she reinterprets through processes of assemblage. The images she creates—whether in microcosms (dioramas) or macrocosms (light installation devices)—irreverently and sarcastically blend different registers. The result is a phantasmagorical universe in which the feminine holds a special place…
For this invitation, the artist playfully conceived part of the space as a diorama, transposing image into volume. The visit becomes an experience. The universe is Dionysian. Nature overflows, poised between seduction and monstrosity. The muses, burlesque dancers from another time, watch over the sleeper.”
