Inspired by the work of the German writer W. G. Sebald, the exhibition L'Image papillon (The Butterfly Image) addresses the complex relations that link image and memory. It gathers sixteen artists whose work, like Sebald's, explores the realms of memory and history. Borrowing its title from an essay on Sebald's work by Muriel Pic, the exhibition uses the figure of the 'butterfly image' to examine the questions this kind of relation to the past asks in the context of the visual arts.--Mudam Luxembourg website.
