— It is a system of production, not a system of rest.

— I would rather say it lies somewhere in between. A kind of slot machine something around which money and its absence, desire and nausea revolve.

— A vicious circle, then. The only way to escape it is to look at it sideways rather than head-on.

— I would even say slightly in profile, that’s where the illusion becomes visible.

Satisfied with this consensus, they begin counting the coins.

An exhibition by Angélique Aubrit, Ludovic Beillard, and Gaia Vincensini, with the participation of Paul Betti, Agathe Antonia Saladin, and Eliott Villars.

Angélique Aubrit (b. 1988, Angoulême, France) and Ludovic Beillard (b. 1982, Bordeaux, France) have been exhibiting together as an artist duo since 2017. At the intersection of sculpture, installation, video, and drawing, the duo constructs environments inhabited by characters and narratives that draw on the registers of burlesque and the theatre of the absurd. They have presented solo exhibitions at Galerie Valeria Cetraro, Paris (2025 and 2022); MeetFactory, Prague (2024); Kunstverein Bielefeld (2023); La Tôlerie, Clermont-Ferrand (2021); and the Lindre-Basse Residency – Centre d’art contemporain la synagogue de Delme (2021), among others. The duo has also taken part in group exhibitions at Le 19, Centre régional d’art contemporain in Montbéliard (2022), as well as in other institutions. Aubrit lives in Brussels and Beillard in Bordeaux.

Gaia Vincensini (b. 1992) lives and works between Geneva and Paris. She develops a practice in which mystery is approached not as an obstacle to knowledge, but as an erotic object in its own right. Drawing on intimate graphic forms infused with humour and tension, Vincensini explores the regimes of visibility and opacity that shape our relationships to power, money, and sexuality. The body becomes a site of resistance and fiction, and desire a critical vector through which to reinvent our relationships to institutions as well as to the collective imaginary. She has exhibited at MAMCO and Forde in Geneva; the Fondazione Sant’Elia in Palermo; Galerie Gaudel de Stampa in Paris; the Swiss Institute in New York; and the Centre d’art contemporain de Genève. In 2018, she co-founded the collective INNER LIGHT with Kim Coussée and Eliott Villars.
