His music is filled with synthetic melodies and downtempo rhythms. It unfolds like a confession: carried by intimate vocals, acoustic and electronic elements constantly interplay, seeking a delicate balance. ๑๑๑ Exhibition from May 23, to June 6, 2026 ๑๑๑ At La Cité Jardin @hyper.terrier 9 rue de Chevasnerie, 44100 Nantes Fri - Sat : 2 - 6pm Wed - Thu : on appointment 📷 @___7nnie_7nn7 & @f0xxiii 🖋Graphic design by @bergonz__

๑๑๑ 𝙁𝙍𝘼𝙂𝙄𝙇𝙀(𝙨) ๑๑๑ Solo show by @le_bousq Curated by @bergonz__ ๑๑๑ From May 23, to June 6, 2026 ๑๑๑ At La Cité Jardin @hyper.terrier 9 rue de Chevasnerie, 44100 Nantes Fri - Sat : 2 - 6pm Wed - Thu : on appointment ๑๑๑ Opening Friday May 22, 2026 at 6:30 pm ๑๑๑ Concert by @f0xxiii at 8pm Drinks & food « Simon Bousquet’s sculptures, crafted from concrete, steel, and lead, might overwhelm the space if they weren’t imbued with the delicate silences that dwell within frozen gestures. In the washhouse of the Cité Jardin —a former workers’ quarters now transformed into a collective studio— his works rediscover the memory of the forms that ressemble them. Simon Bousquet’s dormant archives tenderly attempt to narrate what materials reveal about our era, and what they impose on the body that shapes them. Guardian of legacies and stories on the verge of disappearing, the artist leads us along the paths of a landscape where prints become fossils. » 📷/🖋 Visual & text by @bergonz__

𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐘 𝐓𝐔𝐍𝐄𝐃 ๑๑๑ 𝙁𝙍𝘼𝙂𝙄𝙇𝙀(𝙨) ๑๑๑ @le_bousq and @bergonz__ are happy to introduce yet another collab happening soon at @hyper.terrier ♡ A new solo exhibition for @le_bousq , curated by @bergonz__ , is taking shape within the old wash-house of the Cité Jardin. For the occasion, their matching outfits were immortalized by @emma_prevost_ 🌸 « FRAGILE(s) arrives like a gust of wind, both raw and gentle, like the whisper I have sensed in his work for so long: the breath of the heaviest of materials, bending under the weight of the human stories they embody. For what has bound us together —since our days at the School of Fine Arts, since our past romance turned into a deep friendship— is precisely this attention to the stories that things carry. » 📷 @emma_prevost_ Huge thanks for this great shooting 🦋 🖋Graphic design & text by @bergonz__

Amid the filaments of microorganisms crowding Ernst Haeckel’s anatomical plates, the syrupy flavors of Medusa continue to waft through the studio, the buoys grow covered in pearls, and thanks to @le_bousq , treasures of Zamak emerge from the forge. @eugenie___faurie and I also took a trip to Saint-Nectaire, where I had the pleasure of meeting the Papon family and seeing the @fontainespetrifiantes . Many thanks to them for their warm welcome and their enthusiasm for my project. I can’t wait to see where this first exchange will lead us. 🍀 #speculativebiotopes #aqueousresilience #dystopia #petrifiyingsprings #craftmanship

Works and projects lie dormant in the studio: labyrinth of our creative fantasies. With the collaboration of set designer Florence Hamon, the exhibition captures those moments usually invisible, hidden beneath the pale tarpaulins that cover the dormant forms when we leave a place for an indefinite period. A testament to creative resilience, each sketch can suddenly become a spark, each prototype a saga, each trace a precious imprint. Highlighted like rare jewels, these moments of research and experimentation bear witness to the inexhaustible power of our imaginations.” Huge thanks to @scroll_galerie for this last exhibition text. One rarely has the chance to write a few words on so many friends and colleagues; big up to Nantes’ artists. 🦋 📷 Visuel @gael.fmor & @h.ferrarii 📸 @greggyodel 🖋by me

The sticky flesh of her chimeras sinks languidly into the abyssal darkness. In the scum of waters corrupted by human chemical waste, aquatic creatures with mystical powers mutated. Viscous anemones secreting fluids, hagfish weeping their slime, and stringy tentacles bristling with sharp fins; all entwine in the unknown depths. In this aqueous neo-mythology, wyverns, Medusa, and their monstrous sisters lurk and prepare for the onslaught. Heroines of a tale that breaks down the barriers between care and resilience, they secrete their bittersweet venom. A honeyed dissent seems to rise from the waters to restore the power of our imaginations; and these hybrid beings, brushing against the contours of our futures, whisper to us of the turmoil of storms to come in the muffled groans of a mermaid’s call.” ♡ Curation by @bergonz__ 📷 Pictures by @bergonz__ 💌 Text by @bergonz__ Huge thanks to @annebourrasse , @hannastyrmisdottir , @iceland_university_of_the_arts et @wal.bru.international for their support. 🤍 A million thanks to @le_bousq for the exhibition set up and to @1_2_c_4 for the graphic design. ❀

These translucent beads, petrochemical residues renamed by biologists, become the essence of a diaphanous neo-myth. From the Sicilian coast to the Chilean fjords, through French lakes, their story is rooted in coral geographies. Oracle of worlds to come, a mutant nymph weeps artificial pearls. The artists cultivate microplastics, drug residues, heavy metals, plankton, microalgae and other hydrophilic inhabitants. Nestled in glass vials or flooding the images of their film, these microbial potions weave speculative fables like space-time rifts. Myths and ecological struggles come together, inventing more than human symbioses where altered waters become cradles of collective care and restorative fictions.” ♡ Curation by @bergonz__ 📷 Pictures by @bergonz__ (1-5/8-9) & @w.a.r.o (6-7), ©ADAGP 2025 📹Videos by @yolennfarges & @blancadelanoche 💌 Text by @bergonz__ Huge thanks to @annebourrasse , @hannastyrmisdottir , @iceland_university_of_the_arts et @wal.bru.international for their support. 🤍 A million thanks to @le_bousq for the exhibition set up and to @1_2_c_4 for the graphic design. ❀

❀ 𝙋𝙤𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 𝙫𝙞𝙖𝙡 ❀ ♡ ARCHIVE ♡ Collective exhibition from October 11 to 26, 2025 @plateforme.paris @reinelouve “In the reflection of murky waters, sacred resonances and queer anthropologies overflow from L. Camus-Govoroff’s smoking holy stoup. A love potion permeates the air, blowing its intoxicating mist over our gloomy realities. Interspecies relationships and emancipatory scenarios’ lover, the artist borrows as much from pop culture as from medieval aesthetics to explore liminal spaces. Thresholds between intimate ruins and evanescent futures, these transitional zones require rituals of care. In Je sens l’amour et l’anxiété (I smell love and anxiety, 2022), a ceramic basin on a sculpted alabaster base diffuses its scent of lavender and rose, evoking the vengeful vapors of the American Lavender Menace of the 1970s. The moist whiffs of lesbian activism steeped in radical feminism reinforce the regenerative and aphrodisiac virtues of medicinal flowers. L. Camus-Govoroff brews a protective magic mixture. Intoxicated with transcendent collective resilience, the purifying elixir distills healing processes imbued with love and fresh water.” ♡ Curation by @bergonz__ 📷 Pictures by @reinelouve / @w.a.r.o (1-4), ©ADAGP 2025 & @bergonz__ (5) 💌 Text by @bergonz__ L.

Both mineral and organic, her paintings of aquatic immersions take us to the riverbanks of underground lakes. These hidden lagoons slumber at the heart of vast, deliquescent cavities with a sacred character. Sites of metamorphic incarnations, these fabled water tables and their petrifying waters dissolve and regenerate the rock, inviting us to embark on a Catabasis. Like the initiatory trial undergone by Greek heroes and heroines who descend into the dark depths of Hell, lascivious figures populate the artist’s fleeting landscapes like ghosts. They are the silent accomplices of a ceremony summoning the submersion of bodies. Moving from one vital conception to another, Emma Prévost’s Sirènes (Sirens, 2023) guide us beyond the clear surfaces that rumble beneath the earth.” ♡ Curation by @bergonz__ 📷 Pictures by @bergonz__ 💌 Text by @bergonz__ Huge thanks to @annebourrasse , @hannastyrmisdottir , @iceland_university_of_the_arts et @wal.bru.international for their support. 🤍 A million thanks to @le_bousq for the exhibition set up and to @1_2_c_4 for the graphic design. ❀

❀ 𝙋𝙤𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 𝙫𝙞𝙖𝙡 ❀ ♡ ARCHIVE ♡ Collective exhibition from October 11 to 26, 2025 @plateforme.paris @yantomaszewski “Following the curve of the rivers, Yan Tomaszewski takes us on a detour to the source of the Seine. Sequana, the healing goddess of this thermal sanctuary, once welcomed pilgrims who came to offer wooden, stone or bronze votive offerings, like fragments of suffering bodies entrusted to her healing waters. Buried in the mud, these sculpted limbs were preserved, becoming relics of a devotion where care and worship intertwine. Today, Yan Tomaszewski revives this pagan ritual. Carbonised and then wrapped in a cotton shroud containing activated charcoal, his sculptures are plunged into the river both to purify it of its impurities and to reveal and analyse its waters. Combining contemporary scientific phenomena with the extra-human origins of the spring’s mystical properties, these neo-druidic offerings become both remedies and witnesses, uniting myth, art and science in a shared procession.” ♡ Curation by @bergonz__ 📷 Pictures by @bergonz__ 💌 Text by @bergonz__ Huge thanks to @annebourrasse , @hannastyrmisdottir , @iceland_university_of_the_arts et @wal.bru.international for their support. 🤍 A million thanks to @le_bousq for the exhibition set up and to @1_2_c_4 for the graphic design. ❀
