Invited by Mélanie Rio Fluency gallery, Adélaïde Gaudéchoux and Julie Knaebel bring their artistic worlds together in dialogue. As collectors of time, explorers of materials, and observers of living things, the two artists nourish their practices with fragments collected from the past and present.

Adélaïde Gaudéchoux’s work explores vision and the intimate and collective memory contained within images. She questions the mental reconstructions produced by our imaginations: hybridizations in which memory, history, and fiction intermingle.
Julie Knaebel’s approach revolves around drawing, publishing, and writing. Interested in poetry, contemporary literature, and their intersections with the visual arts, she develops hybrid forms, drawing on image, text, and paper.
