What does the floating island mean to you? Do you think of this airy dessert on its bed of custard or do you imagine a haven of peace lost in the middle of the ocean? Aurore Pallet, Émilie Benoist-Gironière and Emma Seneze have explored the issue to concoct this deliciously recreational exhibition which can be devoured in five chapters. To succeed in this collective Floating Island, the three artists nevertheless had to make some unfaithfulness to the original recipe, using artifices or subterfuges to better deceive us and put our watered-down beliefs into perspective.

Tangy colors, clumped textures, composite or falsely edible materials: all means are good for mobilizing our childhood memories linked to this regressive delicacy in every way. Between organic forms and guilty pleasures, the exhibition plays on our imaginations, revealing here vast immersive installations, a nest of tapestries on which to lie down, monumental drawings and decomposing sculptures. The Floating Island literally takes shape before our eyes: an archipelago of heterogeneous works, suspended islands and flying banquets that are sure to whet your appetite.
