An exhibition where artists of African descent explore the gaze and curiosities to transform the way we see and are seen. "Les Perversions du regard " is the first immersive exhibition by the CAALE collective, which reinvents the Fulani Caale as an artistic and memorial refuge for voices of people of African descent. By unfolding intimate scenes behind opaque windows, it transforms the everyday—a rumpled bed, a half-open refrigerator with rotten food, a shadow behind a veil on a busy street—into a moral territory where the impulse to see is reenacted. The visitor becomes a watcher before discovering that they themselves were being observed, reversing the dynamics of the gaze. Between the aesthetics of opacity, veiled installations, and a final mise en abyme, the exhibition questions our image-saturated era, where voyeurism, self-exposure, and the desire to see everything become intertwined. "The Perversions of the Gaze" thus makes art a space for awakening, resistance and exploration of Afro-descendant imaginaries.
