The exhibition Cocyte inc. is a commentary on our era and its mechanical systems, viewed through the lens of ancient times and what they can contribute to a reflection on current social issues. Hence the satirical title of the exhibition, which refers to the commodification (Inc.) of the sacred (in Greek mythology, Coyctus is one of the rivers of the underworld). With an approach midway between the mythical and the real, it’s an invitation to delve into a world marked by the irreverence and sensitivity of a humanist gaze on the body in motion.e propose une vision du monde actuel écartelée entre la valeur des gestes primitifs et les effets pervers de leur réactualisation, c’est-à-dire de leurs mises en forme contemporaines.

The sculptures combine pipes, outlets, and inlets with a variety of groupings of bodies. Mounted on an open metalwork base, these compositions are not random at all, but grounded in ontological reflection: with her references to the myth of the underworld and its rich iconography, Dionne offers us a vision of today’s world as one torn between the value of primordial actions and the distorting effects of their “reactualization,” or recasting in contemporary form.
