Pareidolia. Art by chance

“ Pareidolia. Art by chance ” presents an exhibition delving into the captivating realm of pareidolia. Crafted by Erwan Mirabeau, this exhibition unveils commonplace forms that stir thoughts of faces, animals, and objects, beckoning us into a photographic reverie. A discarded wad of chewing gum transforms into a portrait, while a lone fisherman adrift on a tranquil lake emerges from the weathered surface of an old window pane, transporting us into a dreamlike photographic landscape that blurs the boundaries between reality and the canvas of a painting.

“Pareidolia. Art by chance ” is a sensory odyssey, featuring: 

• 80 captivating and surprising photographs
• An immersive soundscape composed of music and sound design urban landscapes brought to life through immersive scenography and video projections on nettings 
• Authentic objects from the artist’s private collection, revealing hidden pareidolic wonders 
• A mesmerizing workshop employing lasers and fog to conjure pareidolias on-site. 

Erwan Mirabeau, a photographer, sound designer, and composer hailing from Nîmes, France, is the artist behind this exhibition. A graduate of the ENSATT School of Performing Arts in 1996, he now resides near Paris, with one hand on a camera and the other on a synthesizer, seamlessly blending visual and auditory artistry.
