La Façade, new Frac Bretagne’s exhibition programme, is spread out over the entire length of the building facing Beauregard park. Photography, drawing or painting, these oversized images act as a signal, a monumental invitation to the public.
First artist invited, Louise Mutrel combines popular and vernacular icons from here and elsewhere with a resolutely saturated and pop photographic aesthetic.
Presented in large format, her images act as giant bumper stickers that corrupt the black façade of the very minimal Frac Bretagne. This impenetrable glass wall is illuminated by her photographs to become a “wall” in the digital sense of the word on which the images scroll, unfold and construct a visual and rhythmic adventure. The supposed neutrality of the building becomes a field of possibilities, a paradoxically blank page that comes alive with the aesthetic peregrinations of the
young photographer.

Louise Mutrel (1992, works between Arles and Paris)
She graduated from the Haute École d’Art du Rhin in Strasbourg and the École Nationale Supérieure de Photographie d’Arles. In 2017, in Japan, she collaborated with local artisans by experimenting with Washi, a precious traditional Japanese paper. Since 2020, she has been building a plastic and photographic journey with rizography printing. Her work has been presented notably at La Villette, Paris in 2021, at the Rencontres Internationales de la Photographie d’Arles in 2019 or at the Institut Français de Tokyo in 2018.
