Rachel Rose’s first major exhibition in Paris transforms Lafayette Anticipations into an immersive space exploring states between real and artificial, dead and alive. The exhibition takes visitors on a journey that begins with birth and childhood and ends with what lies beyond. On view is a series of sculptures and several video installations, including real-life science fiction, a cell animated film and historical fiction. Rose uses different strategies, such as shimmering surfaces, ghostly screen backs, and absorbent tunnels to create a sense of disorientation, hallucination and uncanniness.
At a time of major environmental and spiritual upheaval, Rose’s work reveals commonalities throughout history, from supernaturalism to the future of the body.
