The Centre d’art de la photographie de Bergerac presents Tobias Zielony’s first solo exhibition in France, Les nuits électriques. The show examines contemporary youth and urban environments through photographs and a video depicting life in Naples’ large housing projects (Overshoot, Vele), LGBTQIA+ and techno communities in Kiev (Maskirovka), and the effects of the Ukraine war on Moldovan youth (Electricity/Afterimages). Zielony captures marginalized youth in often overlooked urban architectures that reveal social and political change. His night-time, color-rich images, created with long exposures, transform these anonymous figures into floating silhouettes amid concrete and industrial ruins, highlighting the history, social purpose, and aesthetic of these environments.

This theatrical performance, directed by Shirin Neshat, presents Orpheus and Eurydice as a story of human dualities and conflict: love and death, joy and grief, reality and illusion. Orpheus is not a mythological figure, but a man devastated by the loss of his wife Eurydice, falling into an existential crisis that forces him to confront his conscience, guilt, and human limits. His journey through the underworld becomes an inner exploration, encountering shadows of himself and memories of love, guided by the energy of Love as a force of reconciliation. Set in a contemporary context, the performance uses black-and-white imagery and silent film sequences to highlight contrasts between reality and imagination, offering an intimate view of the protagonists’ relationship. Eurydice emerges as Orpheus’s alter ego, an independent being embodying the potential for love and mutual understanding.

Saturnalia, curated by Olga Gambari and Susanna Ravelli, is a group exhibition reflecting on the deeper meaning of the Saturnalia festival, evoking themes of equality, fraternity, and community. The selected artworks reinterpret this ancient celebration as a symbolic landscape where individuals recognize themselves as part of an interdependent collective, prompting reflection on personal and shared responsibility in the world. The works act as suggestions and stimuli, offering memory, connection, and ethical practices. In this way, the exhibition explores the role of art as a tool for cohesion and renewal, beyond temporal and geographic boundaries, and as a vehicle for shared values and moral sustainability.
