What is the hidden side of the places we inhabit?
What remains within their walls after we leave?
What spirits linger after our disappearance?

These are the presences the exhibition seeks to explore, in the second Marseille occurrence of the Spiaggia Libera gallery in its new space. Inviting artists to speculate on the past and memory of this place, the exhibition becomes a fictional archive of this house perched on the heights of Malmousque. False memories and relics of former tenants blend with dioramas and models that nestle into the gaps left by authentic furniture. Creatures lurking under the bed and ghostly beings are summoned to emerge from their hiding spots in an effort of spiritism and disenchantment, aiming to unearth, and at times exorcize, the traces of past lives.
This space, both domestic and intimate yet open to the outside world – a house neither fully inhabited nor entirely abandoned – invites reflection on emotional architecture, on how we inhabit places and how, at times, places inhabit us. Through this exhibition, the aim is to wipe the slate clean of the past to inaugurate the new purpose of this space, now transformed into a gallery and ready to welcome new spirits.
