Animus Mundi
Within Animus Mundi, Thierry Baux questions the thin boundary between the visible and invisible, between the outer world and the inner landscape. Through the use of pareidolia, he invites us to free ourselves from the known and the rigid structures of the ego. Each image, originating from raw photography without digital manipulation of forms, becomes a stage for metamorphosis: the bark of a sacred tree in Senegal becomes a cosmic axis, ice becomes memory, stone becomes a gaze. What the viewer perceives depends on their attention, their openness, and their sensitive memory. It is an invitation to rediscover original unity, where the observer and matter become one.
