Duration
6:30
Xie Lei has just won the 2025 Marcel Duchamp Prize. To mark this occasion, the Fondation invites you to relive the exhibition "Au-delà" through this video commentary by the artist.

The exhibition was presented at the Fondation, in Gallery 3, from 18 October 2023 to 2 April 2024, as part of the Open Space programme.


A few words about the exhibition:


Xie Lei has chosen to exhibit reflections on today’s questions of identity, life and death in a collection of 5 monumental paintings. Juxtaposed like a frieze along the walls of gallery 3, they form a phantasmagorical landscape through which the artist questions our perception of reality, evoking the possibility of the existence of other worlds. From one canvas to the next, among the branches and foliage, faceless anthropomorphic figures emerge on the surface, their outlines diluted in a palette of green and blue, between appearance and disappearance.
