TRAVELER’S DIARY-Paris IV:Musée de la Chasse et de la Nature-Part I
Another exhibition that stands out not only for the artworks but also for its excellent curating is the “Beau Doublém Monsier Le Marquis!-Sophie Calle et son invitie Serena Carone” at the Musée de la Chasse et de la Nature. The way in which the artists worked on the subject of the Museum is unique, because they created artworks that appear to have existed before and others to be exhibits-parts of the Museum’s Collection (Part II).

The concept of the exhibition is nature, animals and the way we treat them, and the artists face it sometimes with caustic humor and irony and sometimes with absolute sincerity and sensitivity. “Beau Doublém Monsier Le Marquis!-Sophie Calle et son invitie Serena Carone” is one of the exhibitions that everyone in the city should visit, because it touches each of our chords and put one’s finger on the human atrocities in the name of profit and narcissism. However, the artists works, in a Museum with terrific-emblematic and imposing exhibits, incorporate the notion of dialogue and coexistence without the one side to overlap or swallow the other. Sometimes is very difficult to separate the artwork from the exhibit, and sometimes the exhibit itself feels like to be a contemporary artwork. The viewer is exploring the museum spaces, that call to mind a bygone era mansion with its own unique atmosphere, one by one, and is called to discover in every corner, drawer, showcase, armchair or fireplace, a hidden secret, since Sophie Calle and Serena Carone consciously create “a visual game” that joins the 3 floors and the halls with an invisible tread, in which messages are gradually unfolding and the secrets are revealed step by step (!!!).

“I followed strangers in the street. For the pleasure of following them and not because they interested me. I photographed them without their knowledge, noted their movements, then finally lost sight of them and forgot them. At the end of January 1980, in the streets of Paris, I followed a man I lost track of a few minutes later in the crowd. The same evening, at a reception, quite by chance, he was presented to me. During a conversation, he told me about an imminent project to travel to Venice. I decided to follow his steps and follow him.”
