Elsa Mimram, who works with Lucas Ratton (graduated from EHESS), publishs regularly the website of the gallery with interesting, well-documented articles. “What if the artwork was not only the support of emotions but also the vector of social interactions? One can understand that this problematic comes to the surface when it comes to tribal artworks, decontextualized and culturally reappropriated by Western museums; But the issue can also be set in reverse. It is then necessary to apply anthropological method to study contemporary works. Multiple prisms of thoughts are opened up through anthropology. The subject leaves the doors open to new perceptions, it breaks the code of social mechanisms about the creation of a codified imaginary, where the affect works together with a socially marked subconscious. In the form of short texts, Elsa Mimran intends to some reflections at the junction between two disciplines : history of art and anthropology.�
