At the Gare Part-Dieu metro station, three display windows host an extension of the INTRICATIONS exhibition, becoming fragments of a larger narrative—outposts of an expanding imaginary.
The first two windows, echoing the opening gallery of the Institut d’art contemporain, take the form of dioramas. Once again, biological entities, mythological figures, and contemporary elements compose a floating topography that resonates with the layered logic central to Josèfa Ntjam’s practice. These windows do not signal—they drift. They turn waiting into listening, and the commuter into a fleeting witness.
The third window gathers the posters of the four video works projected at the Institut d’art contemporain—Dislocations, Myceaqua Vitae, matter gone wild, swell of spæc(i)es. Created in collaboration with Sean Hart, they are conceived as fragments of worlds, portals into decentered temporalities. Here too, each image is designed as a sensitive organ of the project—a surface to pass through rather than a mere visual.
Thus, even in the heart of everyday transit, INTRICATIONS continues to resonate. It seeps into the ordinary, slips between connections, and invites a more porous kind of attention. Because here too, between tiles and metal, something is breathing.
