Referring to the language of surreal film, the story follows a woman and a man who meet in their dreams. Together they try to avoid the coming cataclysm which often changes its form from war catastrophes (bombs, planes, explosions) to natural ones (big waves, fires, earthquakes). After waking up from their nightmares, heroes discover that they are trapped in the TV screens, doomed to endless watching of the film within the film within the film … This project does not aim to produce a pre-defined conclusion but should provide the observer with a wide range of experiences.

Located in Le Marias in Paris, the gallery was founded by Hélène Lacharmoise, who initially studied political sciences and specialized in contemporary art and cinema at Ecole du Louvre and Sorbonne in Paris.
Pursuing a personal line, the gallery puts the emphasis on the artist’s vision and its relation to the medium used. It is particularly interested in artists who work across disciplines.
It aims to introduce emerging artists to local and international audiences. It has often held their first solo show. It may occasionally promote some mid career artists not represented in France. Their ideas start from the « real », whether treated realistically or not. Their work concentrates on passages and mutations. It’s a matter of duration and time, whether intimate, social or political. And it’s a matter of image and identity, the conditions of its manifestation and perception.
