CALENDRIER
Justin Fitzpatrick
Exhibition
from 16 March to 28 July 2024
Ballotta
·· Opening on Saturday, March 16th at 4pm
For his first institutional exhibition in France, Justin Fitzpatrick furthers his exploration of human consciousness through the prism of biology. The Italian term ballotta refers to a small ball used to illustrate one’s vote in a ballot box. In a particular colour, it allows us to visualise the expression of a majority. Inside the human body, a similar process is at work : multicellular organisms like our own constantly consult with the various organs that they are composed of.
The Ballotta exhibition studies the links between consciousness and multicellularity, and hypothesises that our thoughts are an assembly which federates the will of each of our body’s cells : rather than being unitary and coherent, it would then be an aggregate of various intentions — sometimes in tension with one another, other times in agreement. Justin Fitzpatrick introduces two series of brand-new paintings and sculptures, along with his first video piece. Through this outlandish fresco, the history of the first fertility treatments — synthesised from the urine of Italian nuns — crosses paths with that of mitochondria : our cells’ energy engines, which we share with all life on earth.
