LABgamerz joins forces with Mac Arteum in Châteauneuf-le-Rouge to produce a new project by artist Jenny Abouav as part of the Cézanne 2025 Season.

La chair de la pierre - nos pellicules fines qui se frôlent is a multi-faceted, interdisciplinary project designed to cross several spaces and events.
Following a residency on the Sainte Victoire, the artist will develop a photographic, sculptural, sound and performative work that will be the subject of a solo exhibition in the Mac Arteum spaces and presented in the public space in Aix-en-Provence as part of the second edition of the Lips festival. 

A work on perception, listening and the body's wandering within the mountain landscape, which takes shape in a sculptural, sound and performative installation. The research addresses the Sainte Victoire mountain, its materials, surfaces, perception and pictoriality, through physical and bodily involvement and a multiplicity of media and practices: walking, exploration, photography and geophonic recording. While Cézanne has long explored Sainte Victoire through a multiplication of viewpoints and new ways of seeing, perceiving and representing, Jenny Abouav opens up perception to the body as a whole, stepping outside representation to invest pictoriality in sculptural, performative and sound work, and enter into a relationship with the elusive temporalities of geological bodies.
