“ Pareidolia. Art by chance ” presents an exhibition delving into the captivating realm of pareidolia. Crafted by Erwan Mirabeau, this exhibition unveils commonplace forms that stir thoughts of faces, animals, and objects, beckoning us into a photographic reverie. A discarded wad of chewing gum transforms into a portrait, while a lone fisherman adrift on a tranquil lake emerges from the weathered surface of an old window pane, transporting us into a dreamlike photographic landscape that blurs the boundaries between reality and the canvas of a painting.
“Pareidolia. Art by chance ” is a sensory odyssey, featuring:
80 captivating and surprising photographs
An immersive soundscape composed of music and sound design urban landscapes brought to life through immersive scenography and video projections on nettings
Authentic objects from the artist’s private collection, revealing hidden pareidolic wonders
A mesmerizing workshop employing lasers and fog to conjure pareidolias on-site.
