In his work, Théo Mercier analyzes the way in which our visual and cultural heritages have become sedimented over the course of history, in order to draw out harmonious contradictions. At the invitation of the curatorial team, he infiltrated the production process of the permanent exhibition “Méditerranées” and the reserves of the Musée des Civilisations de l’Europe et de la Méditerranée (MUCEM) and the Département des Recherches Archéologiques Subaquatiques et Sous-marines (DRASSM). This “carte blanche” exhibition features a series of works arranged along the itinerary, questioning the notion of the Mediterranean through eclectic fragments and objects. The artist questions the aesthetic canons that have long prevailed and the role of the museum in the creation of heritage. Museums create new relationships with objects, displacing them, and this is also what Théo Mercier does here. By replacing, assembling and hybridizing antique objects, collected materials and exhibition equipment, he invites us to imagine other possible forms, histories and circulations of objects.
