Les Magasins Généraux presents the group exhibition Simulacra from June 25 to September 27, 2026.
The exhibition explores the many ways in which artists blur the lines between reality and appearance. From artisanal processes to the most advanced technologies, it highlights the strategies of mimicry, illusion, and simulation that run through the recent history of artistic creation.
Hyperrealism, perceptual games, digital simulacra, even images generated by artificial intelligence—the aim is to question our ability to distinguish truth from falsehood. Between fascination, vertigo, and critique, Simulacra deciphers the shifts in perception at a time when images are becoming increasingly indistinguishable, when falsehood and illusion are no longer the exception but a norm to be understood, thwarted, or sublimated.
