For many years, Cecilia Edefalk has been holding conversations with deceased artists – Hilma af Klint, among others – which she documents and incorporates in her work. The first such discussion occurred with the artist and writer August Strindberg, who appeared to her in a park in Stockholm, and who, today, has guided her selection of works for this exhibition. A compilation of the artist’s conversations with her deceased colleagues was published by Ersatz in 2024. Extracts from this book, translated into French, accompany the exhibition.

Cecilia Edefalk’s art has always engaged with its time and contributed to the emergence of artistic debates. But today, with a career spanning several decades and a considerable body of work behind her, the clamour of the present seems silenced, allowing her unique voice to be heard more clearly. Her works are a concentration of life, of different techniques and means of expression, and of important artistic and existential issues.

This exhibition invites viewers to discover a subtle and personal body of work that is . It reveals the way in which Cecilia Edefalk is continuing the traditions of spiritual and artistic movements from the North.

The exhibition will include the continous loop screening of a documentary entitled Cecilia Edefalk, Jag är inte här, jag drömmer (‘I am not here; I am dreaming’), in Swedish with French sub-titles.
