FLORENCE JUNG -

Next autumn, the Fondation Pernod Ricard will present the first major solo exhibition in France by artist Florence Jung.

The exhibition unfolds nine scenarios, presented around the Fondation and its neighbourhood. Through these scripted situations, Florence Jung explores the lives of
those whose paths we cross every day and the invisible ties that bind us.

Florence Jung’s work stands out through its conceptual richness, offering a profound examination of what remains invisible in our contemporary world saturated with images
and information. Her approach is firmly rooted in reality, infiltrating daily life and encouraging viewers to question their environment.

“Think of the person next to you in the train. Think of the waiter of the restaurant you’re having lunch at. Think of the hierarchical superior of your banker. Think of your colleagues. Think of your neighbour. How do they live, what’s in their fridge, what do they watch on TV? Who avoids answering questions, who uses double locks to hide away in the evening? For her solo exhibition, Florence Jung imagines ten scenarios that take place around the Fondation Pernod Ricard and stages individuals who live, work or frequent the neighbourhood.”
