Description

A bronze eye that supports itself on its own tear: from the center of the pupil the fluid descends to the floor where it forms a support base. In the root room of Palazzo Butera, this work almost seems to radiate the majolica-clad canal where the Jacaranda root has been inserted. During their artistic career, Anne and Patrick Poirier have developed a poetics based on the fragility of human memory. Celebrated by recent retrospectives (Paris, Maison Européenne de la Photographie, 2017; Rome, Villa Medici, 2018), the Poirier path crossed archeology and Renaissance gardens. The possible destruction of civilizations, due to wars, has become a fixed point of their gaze. And the weeping eye is the place where time is imprinted and becomes memory.
