“The rainbow is a metaphor for language, open to multiplicities, to fusing and confusing categories. The title of this exhibition is a play on words between arc-en-ciel (rainbow) and arachné (spider) - arc(a)c(hné)-en-ciel: a spider sky, a sky woven like a web of associations. The spider appears in one of the illustrations of Les Bijoux Indiscrets (in the original edition) and represents sensibility, branching of the nerves. The web is therefore the construction that refers to the other (someone): from one sensitivity to another. But it is also the common denominator, the essence of all that exists and which abolishes that which manifestly stands before us (e.g. the distinction between artist-producer and audience).”
