Hot Flashes

Aline Bouvy is a Belgian-Luxembourg artist with a multidisciplinary approach. In her artistic approach, she favours no particular medium: the exhibition is her medium, a playground where the body is subjected to experimentation. Her works are about identity, bodies, intimacy and taboos. At Casino Luxembourg, her solo exhibition Hot Flashes explores the passage from childhood to adulthood, the period that shapes the construction and development of every individual. The exhibition takes a critical look at the stages of our lives - constantly under influence, caught up in the straitjacket of educational, social, moral, family and political convictions, subject to the gaze of others and to a relative freedom. 

Playing on optical effects and perceptual exploration, Hot Flashes explores questions of scale and perspective. New works, conceived specifically for the exhibition, reflect on the way in which our perception affects our relationship to the body and to space. The exhibition is an invitation to everyone to become a critical observer of their own social and political construction.
