Dreaming in the Dream of Others

Dreaming in the Dream of Others aims to open a sensitive, poetic path to this primordial brotherhood of awareness, the evidence of which only artists can reveal. The exhibition title, presented at Fondation Opale, evokes the mysterious, fascinating “Dreaming,” the spiritual foundation of the oldest living culture on Earth: that of indigenous Australians. But everything carried on as if Klein‘s fascination with prehistory had diverted him from what is known as Indigenous art: in his work, there is no reference to Africa or Oceania, with the exception of a few shamanic-looking drawings from his youth kept in the Yves Klein Archives in Paris, which historians were not sure how to interpret until now.
