Odyssea: Le sel de la terre

a collaboration between Spiaggia Libera .gallery and PUNTA Gallery
Curated by: Sacha Guedj Cohen , Camille Velluet , Boyana Dzhikova

Marilou Poncin
Glazed ceramic, photo printing and resin

The female body is strongly present in Marilou Poncin’s works, where moments of introspection, solitude, and contemplation mark the intimate space of the contemporary woman. Captured in forms reminiscent of seashells, the works reference the exhibition’s origin – the mythical figure of the siren and the contradictions with which she is burdened. As containers for the female soul or temporary portals to her inner world, the works present an almost voyeuristic perspective, raising the question of what has changed in women’s condition over the past centuries.

Within the PUNTA Gallery, two directions surface. The first one concerns the individual’s innate connection to the organic world, a return to biomatter and a rethinking of human progress. This appears in the works of Todor Rabadzhiyski, in which the visual language of raw nature – mud, roots, and mold – undergoes metamorphoses. From abstract forms to human body parts and back, his works oscillate between order and chaos, gesturing towards life’s beginning and the inevitable return to the earth, the cycle starting again.

Petja Ivanova
Chitosan wound healing bandages and Reliquaries of a raging body, 2026
Pen on Chitosan-cellulose mix

Petja Ivanova presents amphorae – storage containers. The artist employs a new technology in which biological waste from insects – chitin – creates new fabrics that can be used in medicine, including medical gauze. In this alchemical alloy, arthropod’s shells transform into instruments of care, offering a rethinking of the patriarchal idea of human evolution. Wasn’t the first object of human evolution precisely a container?

Valentin Vert
Naphtex - 1, 2023
Bitumen, stainless steel, glass, kerosene, rubber pipes, resin, Argand burner
80 × 30 × 67 cm

Valentin Vert’s oil lamp conveys formal ambivalence between an ancient mechanism from the era of working-class mines and a futuristic device with unknowable properties. Through its industrial character and technical presence, it becomes a conductor of buried histories, prompting reflection on the future of fossil fuels and the inevitable combustion of the earth. Naphtex is a combination of the Greek word naphtha (bitumen and its derivatives), and narthex, a Mediterranean plant from the Prometheus myth. It was from the hollow of this dried stem that Prometheus stole Zeus’ divine fire to give to mankind. Suggesting a close parallel between hydrocarbons and sacred fire, Naphtex draws on Prometheus to question our relationship with technological progress and time.

Като част от съпътстващата програма към изложбата Одисея: Солта на земята, Ви каним на прожекция на проекта „За да се разруши този град, трябва да преместят пътя“, представен за първи път в България на събитието „ВЪГЛИЩНА ТРОПИКА - Разговор върху методите за наблюдение на добивната индустрия“, в галерия КО-ОП през 2023 г.

На 31.03. от 17:00 ч. в PI Point (ул. Цар Самуил 70) ще имате възможност да гледате отново късомотражния филм на Яна Абрашева. Събитието ще се състои от прожекция и разговор с художничката.

За проекта:

По време на проучването на художничката, през 2020-2021 г. Бели Бряг, град в югоизточната част на България, е на път да бъде изтрит от лицето на Земята, поради разширяването на въглищната мина. До този момент само 16 от 200 къщи още не са разрушени.

Този проект изследва глобалното търсене на електроенергия, произведена от въглища, и последствията от това върху препитанието и сигурността на жителите в околността. Той се фокусира върху промените, които претърпяват общностите в района на „Марица Изток“ – най-големият енергиен комплекс на лигнитни въглища на Балканите.

Финансирано по проекта Национален план за възстановяване и устойчивост – NextGenerationEU, компонент „Социално включване“, инвестиция 6: „Развитие на културните и творческите сектори“.

Elvire Ménétrier , Precious, 2025
Oil on canvas, blood-based pigment that reacts with lead-based silver white
200 x 160 cm

Beside it, a large-scale painting depicts a critical scene: gloved hands approach a luminous winged creature, a fairy with a vaporous body and exposed organs. The scientific hands have lost their dissection instruments: are they searching for magic or constructing it? For the red of the organs, the artist creates pigment with her own blood (with help from a doctor friend). For the fairy's light, she uses silver white, a lead-based pigment, now banned for its toxicity. The two elements, iron and blood, mix to create the creature, with the risk that one will deteriorate the other. Thus, the painting speaks of traumatic memory, searching the organs of an intangible story for evidence, creating fairies to talk about monsters.

Elvire Ménétrier , Age of mythology, 2025
car hood, car paint, silicone bas-reliefs, SFX prosthetics paint
140 x 100 cm

Elvire Ménétrier’s latex bas-reliefs suggest the texture of flesh and surgical materials. Within the frame of a damaged and restored car hood, five scenes narrate different historical moments or phenomena. Each one is designed from a different perspective, as the viewer must shift their position to see each scene properly, making it impossible to grasp the entire composition at once. As a whole, the piece functions as an allegory of creation containing its own destruction, unfolding across several scientific, computational, and sacred registers.

Artists: Nina Boughanim .boughanim, Elvire Ménétrier , Marilou Poncin , Valentin Vert , Petja Ivanova , Todor Rabadzhiyski

The exhibition deals with earth’s surface, but also its depths—from organic matter transformed into fossil fuels or innovative fabrics; through the plant world and the female body whose symbols weave through thousands of years of human history, to dystopian models of social interaction. And so, though built on the remains of the past world, it contains the secret element from Pandora's box: hope.
Bringing together technology and earth, the human body and social relations, the exhibition opens up a space for reflection, connecting artists from different countries and contexts. And yet, questions about resources, their exploitation, and their relationship to our contemporary existence feel increasingly urgent. They connect the daily lives and imaginations of artists in Marseille, Sofia, Berlin; the shores of the Mediterranean and the stalls of the Women's Market.

"Odyssea – The Song of the Sirens and the Salt of the Earth" is an exhibition divided into two interrelated parts that build a common narrative about the transformation, identity, and future of society. The exhibition is created in 2024 and presented at the Spiagga Libera gallery in Marseille and in Paris with the aim of exploring different dimensions of contemporary existence through symbols such as the sea and salt, which intertwine the past, present, and future.

Opening 12.03.2026, Thursday, at 6 pm.

After a phantasmagorical journey from the ocean depths to the surface of the
earth, from the mythical fish-woman to a contemporary emancipated figure
during the show presented at Buna festival, Varna .varna Odyssea – The Song of the Sirens – a nebulous, post-capitalist world now emerges, inhabited by creatures seeking change. «The Salt of the Earth» thus proposes exploring a different space-time, one that is hard to place in a linear history and resembles a narrative of
anticipation. Salt, known for its corrosive and purifying properties, materializes
here as piles of charred debris within which the artists’ works unfold.
