You're invited to a captivating discussion with artist, Véronique Barrillot, as she unveils the inspiration behind Double Vision. Her extraordinary ability to perceive and paint dual perspectives has drawn the attention of neuroscience experts in Lausanne, Switzerland, who are studying her brain imaging.

Stop by Maju anytime from 11 AM to 6 PM to meet Véronique and explore her work.

Don't miss the highlight of the day-her exclusive Artist Talk at 5 PM, where she'll dive into the science and artistry behind her vision.

Véronique Barrillot sees and paints simultaneously, two superimposed states, as described by quantum physics. Her painting exists only in the eye and movement of the viewer. Engagement is necessary to decipher the work.

Her art is neither an optical illusion nor an anamorphosis nor an effect of artificial intelligence but a unique work.

Véronique Barrillot’s paintings have a double reality, counterintuitive and breaking with our usual perception. It is a unique experience that questions our perception. Depending on whether the viewer looks closely or from afar, whether they move forward or backward, they do not see the same painting.
The two painted subjects interfere, they are “entangled” in the quantum sense, without ever mixing.

Kim Dempster’s The Color of Mourning takes us on an intensely emotional journey into the very real world of today where women are confronted by fanatic religious fundamentalists in an existential fight for freedom.

Set in the war torn city of Raqqa during the Syrian civil war, Mourning is a story about love, loss, and the extraordinary strength women have when they are desperately fighting for their autonomy. Nooda, an intrepid journalist who is chronicling the harsh realities of the war, and her daughter Layal, a young woman who dreams of a better future, are repeatedly forced into excruciating situations as their family is torn apart.

Filled with raw emotion and vivid detail, Dempster’s Mourning is an unforgettable novel that pays tribute to the resilience of women and their enduring fight for justice.
