Clara Chichin and Sabatina Leccia, Le bruissement entre les murs, 2024

Le bruissement entre les murs invites the viewer to wander their gaze in a garden of hybrid images where photography and needle drawing intertwine. With the Montreuil Murs à pêches a backdrop but also as the main driving force, Clara Chichin and Sabatina Leccia wander around and take samples from reality, digging secret galleries between the fantastic aspect of this place which lends itself to daydreaming and its historical aspect and witness to the layers of time – King Louis XIV’s peach fields, market gardening, popular place, gentrified, squeezed by urban sprawl.

The materiality of their collaboration makes it possible to embody the layers of time and perception, between the walls are impalpable energies. The artists provide a sensory map reorienting the understanding of this place. Working at the slow pace of life, this taking of time and on time is a poetic invitation to reclaim politics. Being committed does not come down to denouncing but here, to reconnecting with the sensitive world, to offering re-enchantment.
