PAC Project Room presents the first solo exhibition of the artist Celine Croze (1982, Casablanca, Morocco).
SQEVNV, acronym for “Siempre que estemos vivos nos veremos” (“As long as we are alive, we will see each other again”), is truly a journey to the end of the night. A deeply intimate story where love and violence, Eros and Thanatos, dominate every scene, revealing Celine’s inner turmoil – one that embraces the rules of a life lived beyond limits. Her artistic path is informed by her need to tell stories (including her own) through the darkest, most violent side of Latin America, where the shadows are deeper and the light more blinding. These are worlds of the mind. Dreamlike. Perhaps nightmarish. She employs powerful symbols and archetypes that speak of life and death, uncompromisingly and with no masks.
