'Je dors beaucoup' ('I Sleep a Lot)

LEMAIRE presents ‘Je dors beaucoup’ (‘I Sleep a Lot’), an exhibition exploring the graphic universe of French artist Roland Topor (1938–1997). Co-curated by Sarah-Linh Tran and Jos Auzende, ‘Je dors Beaucoup’ is centred on the notion of the dream, which serves as its underlying thread. Topor’s visual works and hybrid objects – part artwork, part plaything – open onto a oniric space of escape, animality, desire, irony, and the uncanny. His drawings and objects create a dialogue between being and surroundings, creative imagination and function. The sense of playful displacement and metamorphosis extends into the scenographic creation and sculptural works by Karine Marques Ferreira, a French artist. Her visual language converses with Topor’s, drawing on the fluid, mutable potential of the body, while allowing the boundaries between viewer, image, and object to remain in flux. ‘Je dors beaucoup’ (‘I Sleep a Lot’) Topor and LEMAIRE Autumn/Winter 2026 From 23 October to 12 November 2026 LEMAIRE Elzévir boutique Co-curated by Sarah-Linh Tran and Jos Auzende Scenography by Karine Marques Ferreira
