19 January – 25 May 2025

Conceived as part of the Avignon Terre de culture 2025 / Curiosité(s) celebrations, the exhibition Même les soleils sont ivres borrows its title from a phrase by Albert Camus from La Postérité du soleil, a book produced in the Vaucluse region with Swiss photographer Henriette Grindat, with a magnificent preface by his friend the poet René Char.
The collection of contemporary and classical works on display in the rooms of the Hôtel de Montfaucon – installations, videos, photographs, sculptures and paintings – offers a multitude of sensory experiences, recounting the sensitive relationship that people have with the land they inhabit, imbued with the particularities of a climate that the wind irrevocably affects.
