Things inconspicuously appear. The artists in this Cabinet appeal beyond mere curiosity. Reality does not suffice: they seek to fill a void. One could say that they are chasing dreams and inspiration, but above all, they compose an answer to the lack of meaning in our societies. In 1987, René Huyghe warned us in that regard in his essay “L’art entre le visible et l’invisible”: “The inner life cannot sustain itself when confronted by the rational materialism of the outside world, it can no longer feed its essence and our conscience, which until recently we dared to call our souls, needs to be allowed to follow its own path and aspirations, to which sacred once replied.”
