Sacred Languages: Metamorphoses explores transformation processes that traverse both body and mind: ordeal, fragility, trace, transmission and regeneration, metaphorically embodied through the feminine figure. Martin ABEGA's universe brings together body, memory and beauty. For ABEGA, photography is never an end in itself. It is a door, a sacred portal to other interconnected territories of thought. From photography to textile, from embroidery to charcoal, the image extends, fragments, absorbs and takes form differently. To inner metamorphoses respond visual metamorphoses. Sacred Languages: Metamorphoses does not seek to impose a definitive interpretation of the sacred. The exhibition rather opens a space for contemplation and questioning. What remains of us after transformation?
