The show

Over fifteen works created between 2007 and 2022 tell the story of Bak's work and his expressive research along the boundaries between art, politics and sociology.

During long stays in communities living on the edge of the world, Bertille Bak (Arras, France – 1983) rediscovers memories, collective rituals, giving voice to positions of resistance and invisible revolutions. From the artist's direct contact with everyday lives and stories, works are born where the critical language of the documentary meets the fantastic essence of fairy tales.


Tragic contemporary fairy tales but also full of hope and irony inspired by the personal experience of the artist, descended from a family of miners – t'as de beaux vieux, tu sais . . . (2007) and Tu redeviendras poussière (2017) – from the daily struggle of those who defend their cultural roots and their home – faire le mur (2008), safeguard emergency light system (2010), transports à dos d'hommes (2012) , by workers without face and dignity – le tour de Babel (2014), Boussa from The Netherlands 1/3 (2017), La brigada (2018) – and children deprived of childhood – Bleus de travail (2020) and Mineur Mineur ( 2022).

On the occasion of the film screening, Tuesday 17 January at 6 pm – in the video gallery – Bertille Bakin meets the museum public to talk about her artistic research. In conversation with the art critic Teresa Macrì; introduced by Irene de Vico Fallani Head of the Education, Training and Cultural Animation Department.
