Fictions of the Real: Chapter 2

"Fictions of the Real: Chapter 2"

from Wednesday, September 17, 2025 to Wednesday, October 29, 2025

14 rue des Jardins Saint-Paul 75004 Paris

Following the success of the exhibition Fictions of the Real, we are pleased to announce a second chapter, featuring more French and international artists represented by the gallery, between Paris and Los Angeles.
Whether drawing inspiration from painting, cinema, advertising, or dreams, each artist explores a distinctive visual language in which staging becomes a way to question reality as much as to transcend it.


Each image in Sacha Goldberger’s new series Daydreams suggests a story beneath the surface, born from the subtle absurdity of the scenes and the sensitivity of the artist’s gaze. The settings and characters, captured with great finesse, become vessels for a suspended emotion—an instant outside of time.


Marie Cecile Thijs composes silent, mysterious images inspired by Flemish masters, where humans, animals, and objects appear frozen in a suspended eternity.

Gail Albert Halaban, meanwhile, photographs urban intimacy through windows, staging scenes in collaboration with the residents themselves—blending distance and closeness.
Their works are shown in dialogue with those of the duo Clark&Pougnaud, and Anja Niemi.
