Collective exhibition
memories in the skin, 2023
Xavier C. brings together artists, researchers and practitioners from different fields in a working group that explores our relationship to memory and identity. Going against the theoretical field, it proposes a collaborative experimentation around the production of gestures and forms and their collective assimilation.

In bed with la loire, 2022

installation
The hidden secret of the masters, 2021
The installation broadcasts a concrete music
symphony on speakers, addressed to a rock, while it is necessary to seize a curious earpiece to hear the story told of it. I use snippets of intimate memories to compose this first sound work: a parabolic text on pedagogy written at the Beaux-Arts de
Nantes in 2011, as well as objects gleaned and preserved. These are so many treasures
of a collection that I accumulate modestly, with time and the childish spirit that continues to animate me.
