This summer, the Palais des Papes is home to the lush vegetation that Eva Jospin brings out of cardboard.
Eva Jospin, a former resident of the Villa Medici, plants her impenetrable forest, half-tale, half-nightmare, in the attic of the Hôtel de Mongelas and invites us to lose ourselves or find ourselves there.
The artist, whose preferred material is cardboard, returns it to the form from which it is taken and sculpts dense forests from which we seem to hear the murmurs, the creaking and the breath of the wind.
Raw, disheveled, almost jagged, the cardboard bends to its universe and blends fully into its new identity as a forest. Meticulous and astonishing, his work is an open door to all dreams, almost a passage to other universes.
An irresistible call to the forest, to the back roads, to the mysterious, the clear, to elsewhere, to oneself.
