PCAI is happy to announce the solo exhibition of PCAI collection artist Lito Kattou at FRAC des Pays de La Loire, in Nantes-Carquefou.
The exhibition titled “ Soothsayers” is curated by Ludovic Delalande in dialogue with Claire Staebler and it brings together a recent production of sculptures along with a software-based moving image work (commissioned by PCAI Collection, Piraeus), all exhibited for the first time. The works evoke figures of nomadic and transtemporal oracles questioning contemporary crises; climatic, political, historical.
Wandering without fixed origin or destination, these soothsayers appear equipped with utilitarian objects—flowers, compasses, containers, tools—integrated into their garments, and accompanied by fragments of wings and copper feathers scattered across the ground.
Constructed in metal, these life-sized silhouettes form an inhabited landscape in which these entities gather, contemplate, and tend to remnants from migratory species—some endangered, others already vanished. At once symbols of hope, freedom, and spirituality, these fragments evoke both the fragility of living beings and the possibility of repair. Their metallic materiality suggests endurance and continuity.
