Curating time through the lens of art

​In a world where moments pass in the blink of an eye, our role as an art editor becomes one of profound importance—especially when tasked with curating works that capture the very essence of time itself. For us, Les Intemporelles, every piece on display is more than just an artwork; it’s a vessel. A time capsule. The pieces chosen aren't simply to be admired—they are to be preserved. They are a conversation between the present and the future, offering viewers a glimpse into an era, a feeling, or a fleeting moment that, through the artist’s eyes, is held in place forever. Each artwork is a meditation on temporality, a reminder that, while time moves inexorably forward, it can also be stopped, frozen, or even reversed in the right hands. The editor’s eye is sharp, discerning not only the aesthetics of a piece but also its ability to evoke a deep sense of history and passage. Whether it’s a photograph that captures the raw immediacy of a moment, a painting that interprets the decay of time, or a multimedia installation that invites interaction with the past, the curator’s selection process is guided by one principle: preservation. Not just of the physical object, but of the memory, the sensation, and the context within which it was created.

For us, each art piece is part of a larger narrative—a larger story about how humans experience, perceive, and relate to the passage of time. They look for art that, in some way, defies the limitations of time: art that can be revisited, reinterpreted, and rediscovered by future generations. This perspective gives rise to a distinctive curatorial approach: an exploration of nostalgia, the long shadow of history, and the tender fragility of the present. Whether through contemporary pieces that challenge the concept of memory, or through works that revisit the past with a modern twist, the art editor’s goal is always the same—to ensure that the works they champion are more than just objects; they are reminders of the past, the present, and everything that lies ahead. In the end, the works chosen aren’t just part of an exhibition—they are part of an archive, an ongoing dialogue between time and art. Each piece serves as a message in a bottle, one that, when discovered years or even centuries later, will resonate with those who find it, offering them a direct connection to the past, and perhaps a better understanding of their own moment in time.​
