THE SUSPENDED MOMENT

Mathieu Forget takes over the MAH Geneva for one night only

INTENTION

After his collaboration with the Museums of Paris as part of the 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games, the artist continues to explore the dialogue between history and modernity, central theme in his work for many years.

This contrast between past and present, between movement and contemplation, has profoundly shaped his artistic approach and strengthened his desire to extend this dialogue through other forms of expression.

As part of this new charitable collaboration for the Fondation Dr Henri Dubois-Ferrière Dinu Lipatti , the artist revisits the Museum of Art and History of Geneva through the lens of the photography studio, transformed into a space for visual and sensory experimentation.

By integrating studio tools, lights, cables, and colored backdrops into the museum setting, he blurs the boundaries between stage, studio, and exhibition, inviting the public to discover his universe in the real world, to enter his creative process, and to engage with the art of movement and levitation.

5 IMMERSIVE ART INSTALLATIONS & PERFORMANCES

EXHIBITION

The project took shape for 1 night only through 5 immersive performances and installations held in different rooms of the museum, where dance, music, photography, and film intertwine in a living mise-en-scène.

In collaboration with the Orchestre de la Suisse Romande playing a unique score by Alexandre Mastrangelo, pianist Marc Perrenoud, ballerina Victoria Dauberville and dancer Bryan Yory, live music accompanies bodies in motion, playing with breath, gravity, and silence. Each performance becomes a shared rhythm, a suspended moment where sound and gesture resonate with the artworks and the architecture.

Through this multidisciplinary experience, the artist offers a synthesis of his creative universe, uniting the four pillars of his practice, dance, photography, music, and film,  in a creation that is both poetic and physical. The museum is transformed into a living, moving space, where the past inspires the present, and art becomes a total, immersive experience for the 300+ guests. 

Limited edition prints were also created for the event and donated to the fondation.
