The DAISY exhibition is based on the story of Mr X, in love with his neighbour Miss Y.

Grégoire Motte invites us to decode the overt signs of Mr X's hidden love for Miss Y through a mysterious poetic plot. The spectator is invited to penetrate the mysteries of Mr X's love scheme.

In Mr X's flat, strange objects haunt the place: what do the aquarium filled with rose water and oxygenated by a pump, the portraits of women made with ink pads, the daisies scattered around the room, the windows inscribed with anti-fog or the irregular light signals projected through the windows at night have in common? Miss Y doesn't understand!

Grégoire Motte's first works in the urban environment, such as luminous rubbish bins, reveal these "things" of the infra-ordinary made invisible by habit. The artist re-appropriates these everyday objects from our daily lives that end up disappearing. They become remarkable and are given a second, poetic life. These chewing gums discarded on the ground can become, at nightfall, a constellation of stars under the effect of a low-angled fluorescent light.

If the works that follow keep this "rigging" of things, that the effect of re-vision remains present, his pieces are also starting points, potentials. Whether it is in the statement "you can eat chips in elegant cones", the choice (or not) of the best seat in the metro, the purchase of one of his love letters in the confectionery vending machines or the possibility of making a journey between Lille and Paris by the most indirect means (country bus, etc.). Grégoire Motte offers the possibility of feeling like a king while waiting for the metro, of parading around while eating Chips, of acquiring a love letter and answering it if you so desire. Through these ephemeral actions, the artist rediscovers the original poetry of things.
