TRAVELER’S DIARY-Paris V:Musée de la Chasse et de la Nature-Part II
Another exhibition that stands out not only for the artworks but also for its excellent curating is the “Beau Doublém Monsier Le Marquis!-Sophie Calle et son invitie Serena Carone” at the Musée de la Chasse et de la Nature. The way in which the artists worked on the subject of the Museum is unique, because they created artworks that appear to have existed before and others to be exhibits-parts of the Museum’s Collection (Part I).

The concept of the exhibition is nature, animals and the way we treat them, and the artists face it sometimes with caustic humor and irony and sometimes with absolute sincerity and sensitivity. “Beau Doublém Monsier Le Marquis!-Sophie Calle et son invitie Serena Carone” is one of the exhibitions that everyone in the city should visit, because it touches each of our chords and put one’s finger on the human atrocities in the name of profit and narcissism. However, the artists works, in a Museum with terrific-emblematic and imposing exhibits, incorporate the notion of dialogue and coexistence without the one side to overlap or swallow the other. Sometimes is very difficult to separate the artwork from the exhibit, and sometimes the exhibit itself feels like to be a contemporary artwork. The viewer is exploring the museum spaces, that call to mind a bygone era mansion with its own unique atmosphere, one by one, and is called to discover in every corner, drawer, showcase, armchair or fireplace, a hidden secret, since Sophie Calle and Serena Carone consciously create “a visual game” that joins the 3 floors and the halls with an invisible tread, in which messages are gradually unfolding and the secrets are revealed step by step (!!!).

When my father got sick, I got sick. I had shingles and myocardial infarction. As if I wanted to force the doctor to take one last time to care for his daughter, or to accompany him in the ordeal, to marry his illness, while concealing me, thanks to this unstoppable excuse, to the heartbreaking vision of this father now diminished. Let’s summarize. Zona: relaxation immune defenses. Infarctus : death of a part of the heart. Unlike the so-called painful infarction,mine was silent. I was threatened with dumbness by the imminent loss of that look that had guided my life.
Fabio kissed him. Camille whispered in her ear, She Was. Florence caressed him. Anne has put him to sleep. He is dead. Maurice dug a hole in the garden. I installed Mouse in a small white wooden casket that served as a model for sales representatives before the use of photography. Too small. His hind legs protruded. Yves buried him. Serena planted daffodils around the grave. I received a message on my phone: Sophie, I’m sorry for your cat. Can you tell Camille to bring back vegetables such as leeks and turnips if she finds any? I kiss you.
