Voyage en rêverie
A Journey to Daydream
Sofia El Khyari’s animated films translate through sound and image immersive, sensual and poetic atmospheres. A kingdom where women are queen, and where dreams dance with the world in a sensual tango that invents and explores the present.
Through installations and the representation of the original paintings and research that were used to make her films; this unique exhibition is an invitation to travel into the dreamy atmospheres at the heart of the artist’s last three films: Ayam (2017), The Porous Body (2018), and Shadow of the butterflies (2022).

For all life is a dream, and dreams themselves are only dreams.

Only the landscapes we first see in dreams can be stared at with aesthetic passion.
