The first major retrospective dedicated to Belgian photographer Chantal Maes (Brussels, 1965), the exhibition «…puisque bafouillent aussi les astres» […because even stars stumble] unfolds her entire oeuvre by interweaving well-known series, previously unseen ensembles and recent works created especially for the occasion. This proposition stems from a long-term undertaking begun more than three years ago by the artist together with Jean-François Chevrier and Élia Pijollet, working through a corpus spanning thirty years of practice: photographic images of various kinds, but also video and sound recordings, and filmed performances linked to the experience of stammering. The reading of the work seeks to be both retrospective (revealing a corpus that is solid, diverse and structured) and projective, opening onto works yet to come.
