Entropie

For his second solo exhibition at Galerie Dix9, Vincent Lemaire presents new series of works that stand as allegories of the emergence of life.
A balance between organic and geological forms gives rhythm to the whole, evoking distant pasts through seemingly random references. Several evolving cultures of unicellular organisms, captured through photograms, reveal the insatiable territorial expansion of living matter since its origin. These images may evoke a circulatory system, abstract geographies, or clusters of galaxies.
From the infinitely large to the infinitely small, from the dawn of the world to the present day, Vincent Lemaire creates a kind of impossible Memento, striving nonetheless to awaken our memory of these immemorial space-times.
