Hosted by Sissi Club, in the context of PAC Festival, Bisou Magique reaches its final chapter with a collective exhibition that draws together the formal and conceptual inquiries developed over the course of the project. This concluding presentation brings into focus the interrelations between distinct artistic practices, forming a shared space in which methodologies, materials, and narratives intersect.

This iteration of the project has centered on process-based approaches and material experimentation, highlighting how each artist navigates form as a means of constructing meaning. Across sculpture, installation, painting, and video, the works on view reflect a commitment to thinking through materials—both for their physical properties and their capacity to hold memory, history, and fiction.

Practices stand in conversation, bridged by an acute attentiveness to materiality and the tensions that arise between what is revealed and what remains implicit. Rather than privileging a single narrative or aesthetic logic, the exhibition presents a constellation of approaches that remain distinct yet resonate through shared concerns—surface, structure, composition, and transformation.

A bisou magique—a kiss that heals—is evoked here not only as a gesture of care, but as a conceptual framework through which the exhibition considers how artworks can mediate between personal and collective registers. In this context, healing becomes a structural, rather than emotional, proposition: one that involves reconfiguring materials, contexts, and relationships.

By positioning individual works in formal dialogue, Bisou Magique opens a space for critical reflection on how artistic strategies overlap, echo, or diverge. The exhibition resists thematic cohesion in favor of an open-ended, polyphonic structure—one that mirrors the collaborative ethos of the project itself.
