Best Before
Best Before:, a solo show by Valentin Vert and second chapter of Les Vitrines 2025 curated by Indira Béraud, explores the challenges of preservation—of data, artworks, and life itself. Mercury-filled sculptures function both as measuring instruments and archival devices, where ecological tensions and symbolic narratives intersect. They dialogue with reworked archival images, linking personal and planetary histories of contamination. The exhibition questions our ability to coexist with toxic residues and implicitly raises the question of our own ecological expiration date.
