French artist Julie Béna invites gallery visitors to enter a transitional space on the threshold of science fiction and reality. This site-specific installation of sculptures, sound, images, and videos infiltrates and disrupts the FIAF Gallery and its surroundings. Remaining open and porous, each element functions as signs of a fiction to be imagined by the visitors.

This exhibition is held under the auspices of Atoll Corporation, a phantom company created by Béna that develops indexically, leaving traces throughout her projects.
