Inspirée du titre de sa sculpture installée à Ganshoren year 2000, this exhibition illustrates how the themes portrayed by Beaumont (Bruxelles) en 2000, cette exposition démontre la résonnance des thèmes resonate ever more in today’s society. A society where each day, the media abordés par Beaumont avec notre actualité.

Physiquement, les figures de Beaumont sont des approximations de l’être humain; elles nous inspirent, à distance, des idées générales sur la nature de l’Homme. Leurs positions ne sont ni provocantes, ni résignées. À la fois fragiles et solides, immobiles et prêtes à avancer, ces figures paraissent en équilibre spatial, figées dans leur mouvement, en état d’apesanteur - se de- mandant quel avenir nous est réservé...
