Le pari de la suspension
To be “suspensive” is to hang from lines. It continues the child’s gesture of climbing trees. A simple gesture, on the surface. One must move slowly, follow the thread. It stretches time and expands space. Hanging above the void opens a space for research, observation, and creation. Chloé Moglia and Jean-Christophe Bailly explore suspension as a practice—analogous to reading and writing. Dilated time, risk, vertigo, the final point. This is also about the transmission of a gesture, a breath, becoming a work of art.

Serie Le Pari de l'œuvre
The act of creation is a wager: on memory, on the future, on how a gesture will be received once it slips beyond the artist’s control. In every field, a work raises the question of its own necessity and its place in the world. Why do certain works from the past still resonate so powerfully today? This new series of monthly encounters invites a guest to share their personal connection with a specific work.
