This exhibition was born out of sudden encounters, artworks that first provoked an immediate, almost physical emotion, before revealing a deeper meaning over time as the gaze lingers. Here, the heart rises to meet the eye.

It is this pulse that guides the selection, a way of seeing that feels before it understands, finding within emotion itself the path toward a deeper comprehension of the work. The exhibited artists here share this intensity: their works strike, move, and then gradually unfold a meaning, a thought, a presence, that lingers. "Les battements de l’œil" celebrates those moments when aesthetic shock leads to inner revelation.
