Prune Wu Wu Yen | Reinvesting Public Space
From May 27, 2025 to June 3, 2025
Prune Wu Wu Yen was born in Namur and now lives between Copenhagen and Vancouver. After studying at the School of Fine Arts in Bordeaux, she dedicates herself entirely to photography. This major figure in contemporary art in Europe was shaped by a childhood in poor neighborhoods. Her work has been the subject of her first solo exhibitions: "Clearing" (Daniel Templon Gallery).
In her work entitled "Reinvesting Public Space," artist Prune Wu Wu Yen is resolutely committed to invoking the plant kingdom, thereby seeking to establish a deep dialogue between the essence of nature and our contemporary environment. Through a meticulously crafted site-specific project, her ephemeral manifesto aims to explore and revisit our perception of interrelation, a notion often overlooked in our current society. Her creation aspires to rethink the stakes of the digital while revealing that matter, in all its tangible reality, can evoke and question the very idea of self. This subtle interplay between science and artistic expression then transforms into an urgent cry, a vibrant call for the necessity to rewrite and reinvent our daily gestures, in order to rediscover true meaning in our interactions with the world around us.
Angelika Lindahl | The Illusory Contemporary Superego

Born in Nantes, Angelika Lindahl discovers photography in Lyon. After studying at Hong-Ik University in Seoul, she devotes herself entirely to photography. This major figure in contemporary art in Europe has been marked by a voluntary amputation of her ring finger.
On the occasion of her very first exhibition in France, Angelika Lindahl finds herself compelled to grasp the nuances and subtleties of language. Her ambition is to reinvest the very idea of urbanization, reminiscent of her previous landmark exhibition in Essen in 2010. Through a meticulously designed work in situ, her art seeks to clear the vast and complex terrain of audiovisual while developing an introspection of the self. This narrative, rich in meanings, allows for the invocation of various techniques of contemporary art, while reality itself challenges the contours of urbanity, thus raising essential questions about our relationship to space. Echoing the reflections of Jurgen Jaramillo, Angelika Lindahl embarks on a deep exploration of notions related to the acme of social closeness, intricately examining interpersonal dynamics in an increasingly competitive context.
