The installation Beyond You speaks to us of intimacy and memories.

Moments and images intersect, latent impressions, shifts in memory. The writing of a moment is never fixed nor detached from context. The environment, colors, the sensation of perception or experience blend and overlap to become one. The relationships to space, to moments, or to a person are ultimately inseparable.
The line evokes a body, continuous, with blended anatomies, in a confused sequence, fragmented memories, but where the sensual imprint guides the gaze and carries us away. This line evokes time; it is a landscape, an infinite bodily curve, a tactile and visual journey punctuated by connected moments, cities, smells, trivial anecdotes, veiled images, stolen and diffuse memories, the unconscious.

Sébastien Lebègue is a photographer whose work focuses primarily on human subjects and documentary photography. In the installation "Beyond You," the artist reveals a part of his inner world for the first time. He explores the connections between the beginnings of his love and his early wanderings in Yokohama.

But more than a simple personal evocation, Sébastien Lebègue invites the viewer to search for what lies "Beyond" the artwork. The term "You" refers to the person evoked by the artist, his love, but also to the viewer themselves. "Beyond You" is thus a mirror that questions the intimate relationship each of us can have with the city. It invites the viewer to delve into their own memories, to recall or invent a story, and ultimately rewrite a scenario in which they can project themselves.

The installation "Beyond You" by Sébastien Lebègue is presented by IKONO ART in partnership with the French Institute of Yokohama.
