24e Prix Fondation Pernod Ricard, Do You Believe in Ghosts?

With the title Do You Believe in Ghosts? the 24th Prix Fondation Pernod Ricard brings together six artists invited by curator Fernanda Brenner. To evoke ghosts as conceptual metaphors in Paris in 2023 is also to recognize that these phenomena are culturally specific. Non-Western contexts produce considerably different epistemologies and critical potentialities when it comes to spectrality. What unites the group of artists selected to participate in this edition is their disagreement with univocal interpretations or simplified representations of the present. Their work points in different ways to that which is formally absent but somehow asserts its presence.
