Damien Gernay. Mimesis
An exhibition at the Grand-Hornu

Design, nature and sensory experiences

The Mimesis exhibition plunges you into the heart of natural elements: fire, water, air, rock, and the forest. The poetic sensitivity of designer Damien Gernay is immediately apparent: he captures the traces of time, movement, and creative gestures in every piece.

Gazing into the sea. Wandering through a forest where shadow and light collide. Touching a surface whose origin, material, or authenticity remains indefinable. These sensory experiences find an echo in the works of Damien Gernay, which can prove to be confusing, intriguing, and spectacular.

The exhibition encourages the public to observe more closely, to ask questions about what they see, and to discover a universe where reality meets its reinterpretation.
