Conceived as part of the Avignon Terre de culture(s) celebrations, the exhibition ‘Même les soleils sont ivres’ takes its title from a phrase by Albert Camus from ‘La Postérité du soleil’, a book produced in the Vaucluse region with the Swiss photographer Henriette Grindat, with a magnificent preface by his friend the poet René Char.

The collection of contemporary and classical works on display in the rooms of the Hôtel de Montfaucon - installations, videos, photographs, sculptures and paintings - offers a multitude of sensory experiences, recounting the sensitive relationship that people have with the land they inhabit, imbued with the particularities of a climate that the wind irrevocably affects.
