Lennart Lahuis and Alexandre Lavet share a strong interest in the fleeting and disposable nature of images and representation. In order to slow down the viewer’s gaze, their works constantly seem to hover on the verge of ephemerality, and even disappearance or absence. Their joint presentation at LISTE aims to engage the viewer to make an effort to question both the status of the exhibition space, the work of art and the fragility of the information we consume.
