Les Exquis, fantastical characters in black and white, are exquisite corpses that father-and-son duo François and Didier Morelli created together in the 90s using a software called Kid Pix. The project is a unique material rendition of these illustrations, designed and woven in large format by Geneviève Moisan on a computerized Jacquard loom. The works presented are the result of a dialogue between three creators.

A romance of reclaiming the ill body from the jaws of stillness by merging with the universe of things. Like an ever-growing creature made of unfired clay, new limbs being hastily built-on as others drop off. The ill mind/body is never fully relieved; at best, it manages to forget its ill state through distraction and fantasy.

Chloë Lum and Yannick Deslanreau’s What Do Stones Smell Like in the Forest? is an autofiction, and the second chapter in a series of speculative works reflecting on the affective relationships between sentient bodies and objects.
