Shanie Tomassini’s Solar Lamentation opens a space suspended outside time, under the celestial guardianship of the sun and the shimmer of its rays. The exhibition follows its cyclical rhythm, which modulates the light, gives the days their cadence, and imbues the atmosphere with an ever-changing hue, transforming the sun at times into a benevolent deity and at others into the fabric of our lamentations.

True to a practice dedicated to materials in flux, the artist assembles a constellation of times and places made up of visions and materials gathered during her wanderings. From these relics emerges an open and resolutely personal mythology. The exhibition is thus populated by mystical beings that oscillate between the organic and the mineral, the ephemeral and the immemorial, and whose very nature is intimately linked to the matter of which they are composed. Tomassini’s sculptures are like offerings to the passage of time, celebrating the slow alchemy of things and heightening our awareness of life's cycles.
