Au coucher des songes et au lever des âmes

We all have childhood memories. They haunt us at certain times in our lives. Sometimes they are linked to the memory of the objects we are imbued with, objects full of affect and sentimentality, which we sometimes find hard to part with. Here we find objects linked to stories, which the artist tells us in exchange for a childhood memory, a story, a personal anecdote. Sharing information in the centre of a comfortable, secure space is essential to Léa Stuby’s practice, enabling her to work with souvenir and memory. It circulates, changes, lives and is in constant motion; the artist goes out to meet it with her « stand à souvenirs », wanders the streets and collects what she finds. Or does she reap what she seeks?
