Yann Stéphane Bisso: Les nuées sont des vagabonds qui dérivent

The exhibition is a field of experimentation where the fundamental notions of Yann Stéphane Bisso’s practice unfold: memory as a political act, absence as an inhabited space, and transmission as a gesture of survival. Inspired by Rasheedah Phillips’s reflections on the deconstruction of hegemonic temporalities, Bisso presents an archaeology of traces that challenges the linear ordering of history.

The artist’s research centers on the dialectic between presence and erasure: the imprint as the residue of an existence, but also as evidence of a subtraction. These traces –whether material, bodily, or mnemonic – function as temporal palimpsests, revealing not only what once was, but also the structures that produced forgetting.
