Les mensonges du météorologue

Solo exhibition by Madison Bycroft
With the curatorial complicity of Victorine Grataloup and Camille Ramanana Rahary
A proposal by Triangle-Astérides


Madison Bycroft's solo exhibition is designed around her film La sauce de tout agencement. It invites the public into an earthy environment that offers a form of continuity with the end of the film and the image of the molehill: it is precisely in this molehill that the film is projected.

Part comedy, part musical, part gore film, The Sauce of All Order follows the inauguration - literally - of Felix Culpa, who joins the circle of augurs, the priests of ancient Rome who interpreted natural phenomena considered to be omens, particularly bird-related, on behalf of the emperors. Here, Emperor-Empress Oren - an anagram of 1st-century emperor Nero - takes on the character of Trimalcion, parodying Nero in the Satyricon attributed to Petronius, a Roman writer and elegantiae arbiter [arbiter of good taste] at Nero's court. The Satyricon is a tale of excess whose central scene is the "Feast at Trimalchion's", a mock funeral banquet and tale of social ascension in which truth and falsehood are inseparable, and to which Madison Bycroft's film makes reference.
