We were thousand under the table, Aïcha Snoussi's first solo exhibition at a French institution, gives her the opportunity to unfold her sprawling practice, which has its roots in drawing, to embrace sculpture, installation and sound composition.
Borrowing from the aesthetic codes of both science fiction and archaeology, bridging the temporal hyper-loops of past and future, the exhibition presents itself as a grotto enlivened by past celebrations.
An underground bar straight out of the blue-green seabed - an omnipresent color in the artist's work.
At the heart of the space is a billiard table in mutation, its legs reaching out like roots in search of water. From the billiard table's holes sing a lineage of nameless underwater creatures that we then
call queer.
