Guided tour of the monographic exhibition dedicated to Elodie Lesourd.
Elodie Lesourd’s conceptual approach uses music as a means of access to ontological and aesthetic questions involving, among others, sociology, philosophy, or popular culture. Although a score of the same piece, his work is played on a two-beat rhythm. The first, called hyperrockalist, more immediate and attractive in appearance, rubs shoulders with a second protean set tending towards abstraction; both reveal, similarly, the stakes of a coded practice. In addition, since 2005, the artist has also engaged, in parallel with his plastic production, a sound work that is most often embodied in concerts-performances.
The exhibition proposes to explore different aspects of plastic work by articulating on a common way, that of capturing the ephemeral. With music as a constant reference, Elodie Lesourd leads us to wonder about the unsurpassable character of death (metaphorical or real) and the elusive escape of time. The poetic dialectic - expressed here in a romantic and conceptual impulse - invites a multiple reading of the subjects summoned by the artist, from which arise the emotions despite the sought purification.
