exhibition
Anaïs Marion is invited to take over the Degrés Est space, dedicated to artists from the Grand Est, as proposed by Fanny Gonella, director of FRAC Lorraine.
In 2018, she set out to retrace the route of the Baghdadbahn, the railway linking Berlin to Baghdad in Iraq. This railway, started in the late 19th century by Germany and later completed by the British in the early 20th century in a context of imperial expansion, was intended to transport Mesopotamian archaeological treasures to Europe. Through this journey, Anaïs Marion embarks on an exploration crossing history, geopolitics, and the memory of displaced objects. Armed with a miniature reproduction of a Mesopotamian winged bull from the Pergamon Museum in Berlin, she symbolically attempts to return it to its land of origin. The artist develops an investigative practice where observation, collection, and movement become ways of writing History differently. Her works, ranging from photography, writing, and protocols, combine archaeological methodology and poetic inventories to examine collective memory, knowledge circulation, and the effects of uprooting heritage.
