OPENING OF THE EXHIBITION "NEW DREAMS" BY BEN & SARA

Friday, October 9 at 6 PM > Opening of the photo exhibition "New Dreams" by Ben & Sara

From Saturday, October 10 to Thursday, December 31 from 2 PM to 6 PM > "New Dreams" by Ben & Sara.

To close this season of exhibitions, the Collections of Saint-Cyprien once again partner with the gallerist Roger Castang (Castang Art Project) to present New Dreams, a retrospective and prospective journey through the work of Ben & Sara.

For over twelve years, the duo has developed a photographic narrative based on staging, delivering an incisive reflection on the mythologies and shifts of our contemporary societies. New Dreams examines our collective and individual trajectories, oscillating between ironic dislocation, dystopian tension, and allegorical escape.

The exhibition brings together a body of five series centered around the mutations of our modes of existence: consumerist urbanity with The Leisure Center (2015), which explores commercial zones as theaters of leisure time; the technological and discursive shift through Start Up Nation (2019), a radiography of the digital injunction; the denaturation of the living and rituals in At the Table! (2026), focusing on the agri-food industry and ultra-processed food; the prospective anxiety with Hope is Delicious (2026), which questions our horizons of uncertainty.

In contrast, their contemporary reinterpretation of the medieval masterpiece The Lady and the Unicorn (2023) outlines an initiatory journey, reactivating the sensory and symbolic significance of the tapestries to reintroduce a possibility of hope in the face of the world's disenchantment.
