Social Security Prelude: The PèreMèRe Ramp Exhibition at CEAAC in Strasbourg

Artist Florian Fouché examines institutional design and public health systems through immersive installations and film.

This dual-site project features a spatial dialogue between the historic architecture of CEAAC and the modernist surfaces of l'Aubette 1928. Through sculptural installations and film, the work interrogates how institutional infrastructures facilitate or restrict movement and care. The inquiry forms part of a broader research cycle into societal systems of assistance.

Exhibition summary

This double exhibition by artist Florian Fouché explores the history and current state of the French public health system through installations, sculptures, and films. Presented in collaboration with l'Aubette 1928, the exhibition examines the architectures, institutions, and accessibility paradoxes that shape how our bodies are managed within the public sphere.

Curatorial context

As the fourth chapter of his research cycle 'Manifeste assisté' (Assisted Manifesto), Florian Fouché's 'Sécurité Sociale Prélude: La rampe PèreMèRe' investigates the societal systems of assistance and the institutional management of bodies. By pairing the CEAAC with l'Aubette 1928, the exhibition creates a spatial dialogue between the historic architecture of the CEAAC and the modernist surfaces of l'Aubette 1928, exploring how institutional design facilitates or restricts movement, effort, and care. At the CEAAC, Fouché presents an immersive installation inspired by 'Inclipan' gymnastics and Claude Parent's theory of living on an incline. A central sculptural figure, the 'Père Cuillère,' navigates this unstable landscape of ramps and colorful planes, questioning current public accessibility laws. At l'Aubette 1928, the artist presents a new film, 'Mort assistée' (Assisted Death), commissioned by the Centre Pompidou, which contemplates the maintenance, storage, and transformation of culture. Together, these sites form a critical poetic reflection on the visible and invisible infrastructures that organize contemporary life and institutional preservation.
