The Thai filmmaker Apichatpong Weerasethakul is guest at the Festival d'Automne and Centre Pompidou. His exhibition, featuring around ten video installations, transforms the former solarium into a nocturnal space inhabited by biographical and architectural reminiscences.
Now emptied of its works, Apichatpong Weerasethakul's first artistic gesture is to conjure up night-time in the Pavillon Brancusi. This condition is certainly a pre-requisite for the presentation of video installations, but is also a means for shaping the experience of a visit which hovers between wakefulness and sleep. The works chosen by the artist result from a daily and diary-based practice which he assimilates into a sculptural process. From within this place where forms once rose up amidst the plunging rays of a zenithal light, reminiscences of past architectural forms are also preserved. The centrepiece of the exhibition is Solarium, a work first exhibited in 2024 at the Chiang Rai Biennale. It revolves around the reinterpretation of the plot of a 1981 Thai horror film in which a character has his eyes stolen and then wanders around in search of them. It brings a renewed approach to the question of blindness and the internal vision that is a driving force in his work. In resonance with his work Fiction, Apichatpong Weerasethakul also unfurls, in the Atelier Brancusi gardens, accounts of some of the dreams he has kept in his notebooks for decades.

Mathilde Monnier Territoires
In Territoires, Mathilde Monnier will be taking over the galleries of the Centre Pompidou during the course of a weekend in order to bring us a piece that deals with memory and circulation, "a collection of gestures from her work over the past thirty years". In doing so, the choreographer sets up the possibility of playing out memory in the present, from now onwards, or by means of anticipation.

Ligia Lewis Still Not Still
In Still Not Still, choreographer Ligia Lewis pursues her exploration into the silences and shadows of history. In this piece, the performers play out a score over and over again, the burlesque dimension of which makes it all the more tragic.
Forced Entertainment Signal to Noise
Over its forty years of existence, with Tim Etchells at the helm, the company has never stopped reinventing itself. And it continues to do so. Amidst an oscillating form of virtual reality, six performers find themselves deprived of their voices and their entire beings. The whole thing goes beyond all understanding... Welcome to this new world.
Sébastien Kheroufi Par les villages
Sébastien Kheroufi discovered Peter Handke's Par les villages at the onset of his artistic career. It evokes a writer's return to his native village. Amidst the twilight setting in which one universe declines in favour of another, the voices of the “offended and humiliated” break their silence.
