Hyper tactile and hyper sensual, Apichatpong Weerasethakul’s exhibition at the Centre Pompidou captivates and surprises, as it takes the plastic question of the filmmaker’s work very seriously.
Through a completely reimagined space of the Brancusi studio, highlighting his work with light and the visible, the director presents a proposal that continues a dialogue with the visual arts that began several years ago with a memorable exhibition at the Musée d’Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris, which multiplied perspectives and created a resonating space for the image.
Less didactic and more anchored in immersion, this presentation welcomes a multitude of takes, scenes, and animations that carry within them the virtue of looping and immediacy. Made over more than a decade, their assembly orchestrates a general movement of flow and ripples that embraces the architecture of the space, ensuring a total immersion.
In this sensory and emotional journey, all audiences

have their place, without compromising the requirement for attention and duration. Although it appears more like a mosaic of propositions and is connected only by an abstract thread, this journey offers a striking and astonishing experience that plays with perspectives, alternates intensities, and manages, at every turn of the gallery, to renew its invitation to contemplation as ambivalent as the spectral forces that animate his feature films, between fertile languor and vivid fascination.
A delightful journey then, reflecting the filmmaker’s pleasure in extending his reflection on the image and summoning past or future perspectives as many new angles to propel his art into a domain that will enchant fans of his work and, through its enthusiasm and total commitment to perception, captivate newcomers.
