The exhibition Mediterranean: Contemporary Odysseys brings together 74 artists from 20 countries to explore the Mediterranean as a space of memory, circulation, and contemporary tensions.
Léo Fourdrinier’s work occupies a distinctive place within the exhibition. Through a practice that weaves together systems, narratives, and historical layers, the artist develops forms in which disjointed temporalities and processes of transformation intertwine. His works examine the conditions for the emergence of new languages, drawing on heterogeneous materials and continuous processes of recomposition.
Within the exhibition, his research resonates with the project’s broader concerns, presenting the Mediterranean as a territory shaped by migration, ecological crises, cultural transmission, and narratives of exile. The works on view create a critical and poetic space in which circulation, inheritance, and forms of coexistence are explored.
Bringing together engagement, memory, and imagination, Mediterranean: Contemporary Odysseys ultimately invites viewers to consider the Mediterranean as a territory in constant reconfiguration, where cultures intersect and continually reinvent themselves.
