poetry:exposure

Following Paul Celan’s claim according to which, in modernity, “la poésie ne s’impose plus, elle s’expose” (“poetry no longer imposes, but exposes itself”), this project takes the French word “exposition” in the two senses of “exposure” and of “exhibition”: it thus creates vulnerable and open interactions between the written poetic gesture and the pictorial asemic gesture.
