Travelling
From 28 September 2024 to 19 January 2025
Jeu de Paume – Paris
Jeu de Paume pays tribute to Belgian filmmaker, artist and writer Chantal Akerman (Brussels 1950 – Paris 2015) with an exceptional exhibition, conceived by the Bozar-Centre for Fine Arts, The Chantal Akerman Foundation and Royal Film Archive of Belgium.
Chantal Akerman: Travelling outlines her unique journey from the early beginnings in Brussels to various deserts, from her first films to her final installations in 2015. Featuring unique and previously unseen footage, production, as well as work documents from her archives, this is the first major retrospective of the Brussels-based artist.
The exhibition traces the various stages of Chantal Akerman’s career and also sheds light on the different locations where she has worked and filmed. It also showcases the versatility of her work, including film, television, literature, and installations.
“Those literal-minded images aren’t effective, you have to find another path, so the people confronting it can remain themselves and absorb it, actually face-to face with the images.”
This exhibition has been conceived by the Bozar-Center for Fine Arts, the Chantal Akerman Foundation and CINEMATEK, in collaboration with Jeu de Paume for the exhibition presentation in Paris.
