As part of the cross-season between Brazil and France 2025, the Commanderie de Peyrassol is delighted to present a monographic exhibition by Jonathas de Andrade (born in Maceió in 1982), a major artist on the Brazilian art scene who represented his country at the 59th Venice Biennale in 2022. The exhibition offers a reading of the artist's work, taking shape in his approach to nature and territories, revealing the poetic force that runs through his practice. In a minimalist atmosphere, the exhibition echoes the reflections and contemporary issues defined as the thematic axes of the Brazil - France 2025 season, notably climate and ecological transition. At the heart of the exhibition, the two videos O Peixe (2016) and Nó na garganta (2022) form a dialogue on the relationship between man and animal, sometimes powerful, sometimes vulnerable. While tenderness is visible at the same time as death or danger, and fear coexists with sensuality, the artist engages the viewer in an open, free reflection on the coexistence of living forms. By depicting a world of animals and plants with little space left untouched by human activity, Jonathas de Andrade offers an allegorical vision of this same world, where living things persist and resist. In this way, between invasion and conflict, destruction and survival, the ways of inhabiting the world are poetically revealed, demonstrating that alongside an omnipresent destructive tendency, creation, freedom and desire survive. Jonathas de Andrade's work is based on historical, textual and photographic research, from which he produces installations, sculptures, videos and performances that seem to reveal the ambiguity of the social, political, cultural and ideological realities of the contemporary world. Between violence and love, trust and fear, threat and promise, the cohabitation of kingdoms and affects and the sharing of territories are the subjects of an exhibition designed for a place where the environment is at the heart of the discussion.
