you have to lose your way to find yourself in the right place

“… you have to lose your way to find yourself in the right place”

Selected Works by Gilles Massot

Until 13 Jun

NUS Museum | Tue to Sat, 10am to 6pm

Free Admission

Presenting the works of Singapore-based French artist, Gilles Massot, this exhibition includes a selection of the artist’s photographs, videos, sketches and writings from the 1980s to the present. It explores his evolving negotiations with place and the shaping of self-identity as a photo-journalist travelling across Asia, his involvement in a changing contemporary art scene, and his expatriate status. Collectively, his works form ways in which Massot engages with images and their potential meanings. As subjectivities, his efforts complicate the ideological and orientalising features that undergird a sojourn, and thus, sustain critical expectations to find himself “…in the right place”.

With the support of the Embassy of France in Singapore.
