Marco Godinho: The Reminder of the Winds

“The Reminder of the Winds” is the first solo exhibition at the gallery by Luso-Luxembourgish artist Marco Godinho (b. 1978). It gathers recent and new works, activated in the gallery for the first time. Conceived as an “exhibition-poem”, it explores the invisible yet essential flows that pass through our lives: winds, breaths, atmospheres, shifting presences that connect bodies, spaces and temporalities.

The exhibition unfolds as a temporary shelter, a secondary home suspended in time. It weaves a subtle link between The Infinite House—Godinho’s own home by a river on the border of Luxembourg and Germany—and the Parisian gallery. The street itself becomes a “river-world”, a geographic and poetic threshold between the two spaces, through which memories, gestures and intensities flow.

Near the entrance, the gallery’s street number 44 is replaced by the number 8 from the artist’s home. Positioned horizontally, this 8 becomes the symbol of infinity, a discreet intervention that opens reflection on belonging and the invisible forces connecting places and distances.

The project extends earlier explorations in “Un vent permanent à l’intérieur de nous” (Les Tanneries, 2023–2024), where natural elements like wind and river shaped the work. Here again, porosity and transition between inside and outside, private and public, individual and collective are at the core. Every component—space, team, street, rhythms, gestures from The Infinite House—contributes to what curator Thierry Davila calls “a poetry of the atmospheric” and “a respiratory experience”.

“The Reminder of the Winds” invites us to inhabit the world differently: attentively, in motion, attuned to the winds outside and the breaths within.
