This double exhibition by artist Florian Fouché investigates the history and transformations of the French public health system. Through installations, sculptures, and film, Fouché explores themes of assistance, accessibility, and the exclusion of bodies within institutional spaces.
In this double exhibition titled 'Social Security Prelude: The Father-Mother Ramp', artist Florian Fouché presents a multi-chapter exploration of the French public health system. Fouché moves beyond a strictly documentary approach, instead staging the devices, architectures, and concepts that define assistance and accessibility in public spaces. The work is deeply rooted in his research project 'Manifeste assisté', which examines the politics of 'assisted life' and institutional care. Hosted at the Aubette 1928, the exhibition creates a dialogue between contemporary sculptural installations and the building's historic environment. It features a range of works including films—such as 'Mort assistée' (2026)—sculptures, and drawings that interrogate how institutions organize the conservation, transformation, or disappearance of both people and objects. By linking architecture with the socio-political realities of public assistance, Fouché provides a critical and poetic reflection on the invisible infrastructures that shape modern life.
Admission to the Aubette 1928 is free. The venue is open to the public from Wednesday to Saturday, 2:00 PM to 6:00 PM, and is fully accessible to people with reduced mobility.
