Following Dans ma cuisine, last year's group exhibition devoted to domestic space and the modest arrangement of everyday objects as seen through the lens of 20th-century photog-raphers, this new project extends a similar curatorial gesture: an exploration of the relation-ship between text and photography. This time, language itself—words, letters, typographic signs—enters the photographic field. Omnipresent in our visual environment, text is ap-proached here not merely as an accompaniment to the image, but as an active material ca-pable of altering its reading, disrupting its apparent clarity, and expanding its poetic and conceptual resonance. Jeux de mots thus affirms a continuity: that of a photography which interrogates the most familiar signs, explores their formal potential, and reveals—through subtle shifts—the im-age's capacity to transform the ordinary into a sensory and critical experience.
