Potemkin//Body is both workaround and wall: a framework built from a façade // surface as functioning surrogate.
It is avatar identities, assumed structures of knowing and behavior, illusions of safety/prosperity/space. It is the abstract body in variable forms: political, physical, virtual, and architectural. It is not static, nor whole–rather changeable, material unto itself.
Surfacing from the notion of the Potemkin Village, this group exhibition seeks to investigate the ways in which media and medium shift our understanding of personal and social structures, and how they can be (de)constructed.
Working across and between disciplines, the artists included independently interrogate the solidity and definition of accepted frameworks, whether a question of physical environment, personal identity, or societal constraint. They thrive in the fluidity formed between surface strictures and internal substance, actively engaging space as a form of subversion. Seemingly sound while intentionally elusory, these works repeatedly dissolve and reform anew, destabilizing the physical site and body as a source of certainty.
In turn, the truth of the Potemkin Village was an intended lie. A self-reflexive myth in content and construction, it was deception employed towards political capital. Yet whether material or mirage, the structure was built // alternative, meta, resolved // out of nothing–and so it remains.

Untitled Reloaded est l’aboutissement d’une décennie d’expériences partagées entre Jacob Bendjama et Sébastien Leseigneur depuis leur rencontre à Lausanne en 2008.Un témoignage asymétrique, puisqu’il fait l’état des lieux du travail d’un des protagonistes, artiste, par l’autre qui le photographie, en artiste lui aussi. Ce livre est publié avec le soutien de la Ville de Lausanne et de la Fondation Volkart.
