Discover the first exhibition in France by American artist Helen Mirra. This exhibition highlights the ecological and cartographic dimension of the artist’s work.

For the European Heritage Days, the Chateau de Rochechouart invites you to finish Helen Mirra’s exhibition.
Since the mid-1990s, Helen Mirra has been developing a poetic work that blends the relationship to landscape, mathematics and language. His work is imbued with Eastern philosophy and the reading of American thinkers and writers such as Henry David Thoreau or the philosopher John Dewey promoting the pedagogy of experience.
For the castle of Rochechouart, Helen Mirra wanted to look back on her journey in a non chronological way with a selection of thirty works from the mid-1990s to today in order to give a prominent place to the walk that she defines as a modest and free activity.
The title of the exhibition poetically refers to the idea of impermanence and passage of time, but it also refers to the place given by Helen Mirra in her creative process to incorporation. It is not only in the words of the artist to be in the wind but to be the wind itself. The wind element in Sanskrit “vata”, which makes things happen.
