One of Pierre Creton’s first films was called La Vie après la mort / Life After Death and showed him in the house of a much older friend, Jean Lambert. Seven years after the death of his friend, he still lives in this house. He has taken up images form that time, patching them together, guided by the reading of Pavese’s Métier de vivre / Business of Living. Everyday acts induce supernatural thoughts.
Having penetrated the Balkans in the fourteenth century, conquered Constantinople in the fifteenth, and reached the gates of Vienna in the sixteenth, the Ottoman Empire long struck fear into European hearts.
The second part of exhibition illustrates Alberto Giacometti’s relations with Post-Cubist artists and the Surrealist movement between 1922 and 1935, one of the important sculptures series he created during his first years in Paris, and the critical role he played in the art scene of the period.
