Synthesized blue: cleaner
2022

The „Synthesized Blue“exhibition presents the interstitial works of artist Victoire Gonzalvez. The blue reference color of the exhibition title circulates between different liquids, screen backgrounds, household products and a tropical blue gustatory fantasy. Victoire Gonzalvez activates the shared exhibition space as an intermediary space, whose elements are maintained and regularly modified by the fictional character of the „cleaner“. The creation of installations that refer to such aseptic spaces that disturb the senses is characteristic of Gonzalvez’s plastic reflections. She refers to pop-culture objects that she translates into simulacra, highlighting the spectator’s desire to recognize their nature through the senses.
