Experimenter presents Dancing at the Edge of Memory, Julien Segard’s first solo exhibition at Experimenter – Colaba, Mumbai and fifth solo with the gallery. The exhibition will present new drawings and sculpture. This body of work originates from the backdrop of Segard’s childhood and teenage years: the landscape surrounding his home, the Étang-de-Berre near Marseille in the south of France. The work began over twenty years ago in a documentary vein. Now working far from the physicality of this terrain, in his studio in Goa, Segard relies on memory to reassemble fragments of his experiences. “The territory, as it unfolds across my studio walls, recalls a patchwork of experiences from various realities, now ‘contaminated’ by diverse encounters.” In this context, Segard sees contamination as a form of collaboration, inspired by Anna Lowenhaupt Tsing’s The Mushroom at the End of the World.
