Les Éclipsées - Zoé Vayssières Art Show & Launch

"The notion of time is different in each culture. In Europe we see time as a past, a present, and a future. In Asia, it is a collection of cycles.
The words of the philosopher Gilles Deleuze gives a telling example: When you feel full, it is not so much what you just ate, but all the “tiny hungers, pricklings, little foldings” that are full. This satisfaction is not only linked to the present moment but to all the folds of memory that suddenly unfold. In one-fold of the sculpture, you can read a quote from Gilles Deleuze as a dedication: “Folded in what precedes, folded into what follows.””
- Zoé Vayssières

Discover the captivating world of art and memory through the eyes of Zoé Vayssières during her two-week artistic residency in Malaysia. Her exhibition Les Éclipsées reveals Protected content of women from the past 43 centuries — free women, adventurers, poets, authors, composers, scientists, doctors, artists, photographers, activists, and local women — bringing their forgotten stories to life through her art. Drawing on Malaysia’s archives, Zoé’s work focuses on uncovering the names of these overlooked women. As a proponent of narrative art, she uses a minimalist approach that interacts with the site, exploring themes of disappearance, remaining traces, and the passing of time.
