“We suffer through dreams. We heal through dreams,” said Bachelard in Water and Dreams. The exhibition What Do Waves Dream Of? by the Bones & Clouds collective—formed by visual artist Kim KototamaLune and videographers Jean-Benoist Sallé and Stéphane Baz—reconnects with this therapeutic value of dreams and with the material imagination of water.

Bones & Clouds, in search of the collective body
Gathered at the Da-End Gallery in Paris, where the exhibition À quoi rêvent les ondes ? (What do waves dream of?) is currently being held, the trio Bones & Clouds expresses its relationship to the body, spirituality, and AI. With, underlying it all, this certainty: “It is when superimposed states of consciousness are possible that reality becomes more complex and interesting.”

Exposition "À quoi rêvent les ondes ?"
Marc Donnadieu
The exhibition “What do waves dream of?” by the Bones and Clouds collective at the Da-End gallery in Paris is deeply moving in more ways than one. First, a monumental stone inexorably threatens a landscape of organic glass figures whose apparent fragility and undeniable delicacy immediately stir our emotions. All around, from sculptures (Kim KototamaLune) to videos (Jean-Benoist Sallé & Stéphane Baz), the works invade the gallery space like rhizomes, overlapping and cloning themselves, even merging. On the one hand, the videos illuminate or extend the sculptures; on the other, the sculptures serve as a backdrop or subject for the images. But what we see is not what we should see. The essence lies less in this poetry of the visible and the invisible, the material and the immaterial, gravity and lightness, which the artists have so masterfully brought to life, than in what this poetry signals to us without explicitly expressing it—the waves? : the future of the world is not in what we imagine or decide, but in what nature and its ecosystems have been accomplishing since the dawn of time, outside, alongside, and above all, despite us.
Did not Jean Cocteau, the great master of magic, declare: "Since these mysteries are beyond us, let us pretend to be their organizers. "
Unfortunately, and more often than not pathetically, human beings dream of organizing the mysteries of life at any cost, instead of trying to truly understand what life is trying to tell them. Art, philosophy, and poetry, on the other hand, constantly observe and analyze what life is made of in order to restore its nature and profound qualities—dreams?—in the form of fables or parables. The exhibition “What do waves dream of?” is incomparable proof of this..

The collective, Bones & Clouds, brings together the work of Kim KototamaLune, visual artist and videographer Jean-Benoist Sallé, and videographer Stéphane Baz at the Da-End gallery. It invites us on a spectacular and immersive journey between a meditative and virtual atmosphere in a sensory and exotic trip.
For me, it simply connects with François Cheng's poem:
Meteor fall Inside oneself, Body lost Body split
Crack, fracture, Digging the void, Until the coming Of the high silence...
Then, in the distance, Beyond oblivion, Can be heard From the open ground, The groaning Of tender grass
Worthy of a biennial exhibition!
