La Monnaie Vivante

18 Sep, 2025 - 15 Nov, 2025
La  Monnaie Vivante is the title of an essay and a series of performative and photographic works initiated by Pierre Klossowski in 1970. Soon, Michel Foucault hailed it as the most important book of its time. Excess, energy, dissolution: this is how Maurice Blanchot defines the body of our time after having read its lines.

Enclosed in that contradiction, Pierre Molinier had anticipated it with a series of photographs in which he equated the transvestite, fictionalised, artificial body with the work of art: "L'Oeuvre, le peintre et son f茅tiche." But then, what can a body do?

If everything is reduced to mere merchandise, how can we be a body that does not place exchange value before use value? Or is the problem value itself 鈥 valuation, evaluation, examination?

Thus, this catalogue of organs aspires to be a body and becomes a singularity, a subject, a citizen.

What is, then, a body?
