When curators set limits to the definitions of his work, Thierry Mouillé moves with agility beyond, prompting some unforeseen event that change all the meaning of his works again. He advances masked under the name of uncontrollable Mouvante Foundation, which suits him better than a fixed administrative identity as surname-first name-date-of-birth. The Foundation is moving as a terrestrial revolution and it is not intended to stop, so let us report on his current exhibition Cosmosaïque, at Claudine Papillon Gallery, in Paris. The greatest happiness of one who sees the result of this exhausting vision is that at first glance, the attention is paid back by the pleasure it provides, or the complicity it inspires.

There is always an irreverent invitation to play. If it is not possible, except for Gulliver, to shake the wooden puppets dangling comically here and there, however, one can try each of the wind instruments, whose couplings are accessible.

The projection screen that sits deep in a room is hung with lace. No toile, not tulle, no fishing net. Industrial white lace. Done in order to project experiences: his fantasies of immaculate conceptions in its shadows across the earth.
