Through a series of sculptures guided by two large central pieces inspired by the mythologicalfigure of Janus — the Roman god with two faces: one looking to the past and the other to the future — Margaux Compte-Mergier focuses on this anxiety of what is to come. It is both beginning and end, suspended between two poles, torn between contradictory states. Through the representation of Janus, the present becomes an unstable threshold, a tipping point where we oscillate between what still haunts us and what is already slipping away.
