In her first solo exhibition in Switzerland, French artist Françoise Pétrovitch takes over Gruyères Castle and scatters fragments of mysterious stories inside the building. Drawing on a repertoire of images that are sometimes fragile and sometimes threatening, she presents her abundant work (painting, sculpture, video) and unveils a set of bespoke works created exclusively for the castle.

Throughout the rooms, sacred animals stand guard while portraits appear between the historic paintings. Playing with the palette of places and contrasts, Françoise Pétrovitch takes us to meet elusive figures frozen in their frame or modeled in the earth, all silently singing an enchanting hymn.
