Guided Tours in French Sign Language of “Manger les images”

Eating a picture—what a strange idea! And yet we’ve never stopped feasting on them, from the earliest antiquity to the present day, especially in Europe and the Mediterranean. So how can we explain this attitude toward them?

The exhibition “Eating Images” reveals how ingesting a figurative object allows us to bring into the darkness of our bodies that which has the power to heal us, protect us, and transform us—but also provides us with the means to learn, to resist, to play, to dream, and to participate in the life of dedicated communities.
