At Rotondes, we don’t believe that curiosity killed the cat; we believe that it leads to discovery. For nearly a month, intriguing devices placed in and around Rotondes’ courtyard (Parvis) will beckon passers-by and visitors to explore them up close and take a peek through their lenses.
These ‘voyeuses’ function as enhanced telescopes, allowing you to peer at scenes that exist just out of view – with one twist. The images you observe were captured over 60 years ago. But the ‘voyeuses’ offer more than just a window to the past; they also reveal a multitude of contemporary artistic visions in the next moment. Twelve local and international artists have been selected to enhance, challenge, subvert, or reimagine these historical photos, turning Rotondes into their playground for the summer.
Visitors can extend their journey across time and artistic realms by purchasing affordable postcard packs (six per pack) from a new micro-edition vending machine, the
rotondo:mat,
stationed at the exhibition.
A performance will also be presented during the opening night (see the details here on the left).
