June – August 2026 | Jaskółcza Street 1

Curator Oriana Radziuk

Puget analyses the aesthetic trends of social media as archives of moods and collective fantasies, exploring the ways in which internet users redefine reality through images that romanticise and mythologise everyday life. Simultaneously, he examines meteorological phenomena and the tradition of amber collecting after storms. The figure of the storm-chaser, a weather-controlling character borrowed from cinema, becomes a metaphor here for the internet user who, by navigating content, gains control over the political and emotional climate. Puget's installations consist of forgotten objects and clothing, prop-like objects as if from the set of an abandoned film, alongside video shot on the Baltic coast at dawn, in collaboration with an amber collector. Digital culture meets the local landscape and its mythologies. Alexis Puget (b. 2000, Paris) lives and works between France and Germany, with a studio in Artagon Pantin. He studied at the Haute École des Arts du Rhin in Strasbourg and the Staatliche Hochschule für Gestaltung in Karlsruhe. His practice stems from long-term fieldwork and online research: he archives places.,
communities and narratives situated at the intersection of physical and digital spaces. He has twice held residencies at the Centre for Contemporary Art Łaźnia in Gdańsk. He has exhibited in Paris, Berlin, Venice, Basel, Luxembourg and Poznań, amongst other places. He is a grant holder of the Fondation des Artistes (2025) and DRAC Grand-Est (2025).
