Solo exhibition view Sempervirent·e, Chapelle Saint Jacques centre d'art contemporain, Saint Gaudens, France
With the support by Chapelle Saint-Jacques centre d’art contemporain, Saint-Gaudens, by Acte collective, by Floriane Tourrilhes and by Cité des tanneurs in Lavausseau.

This installation is located in the little apse of the Chapelle Saint Jacques centre d’art contemporain. The inscription on the pediment is the same formula used by Saint Bernard during the miracle of lactation (where the Virgin appears to him and sprinkles him with her milk). Monstra te esse matrem is an evocation and a reinterpretation, albeit a slightly different one, of this myth.
