The drift of the world | Tourisme Creuse Limousin

Zac Langdon-Pole,

Born in 1988, Zac Langdon-Pole is a New Zealand-born artist who lives and works in Tāmaki Makaurau, Auckland. He graduated from the University of Auckland’s School of Fine Art in 2010, and the Städel Institute in Frankfurt am Main in 2015. His photographic and sculptural work, made from found and manufactured objects, explores both the family and the cult scale, and questions the notion of historical reference, its structure and value system. In 2017, he was awarded the Prix Ars Viva. His work has been exhibited at the Museum für Moderne Kunst Frankfurt, the Musée d’art contemporain de Montréal, the S.M.A.K à Gand, the Kunstverein Munich Germany, and the NTU Centre for Contemporary Art à Singapore. In 2020-21, the City Gallery Wellington Te Whare Toi dedicated an exhibition to him entitled Containing Multitudes.

The exhibition

For his first solo exhibition in France, the artist presents new sculptures, installations and photographic works that explore the themes of transformation, repetition and the spiral of history. He proposes unlikely juxtapositions: hybrid forms that bring together divergent time scales, materials and systems of knowledge. Taking its title from a poem by William Bronk, the exhibition traces our innate desire to organise and make sense of a world in perpetual motion. From grains of sand to moving bodies, La dérive du monde traces multiple trajectories, focusing on the specific in infinity, as well as the tendency of everything to be born and to become dust again.
