“I’ll Be Gone You’ll Be Gone” – Works by Yves Étienne Sonolet

Yves Etienne Sonolet is a French visual artist working with video and installation. He has settled in Macau since 2008. In his work, he has a strong interest in questioning cultural identity and dissecting the urban environment, which he expresses through exhibitions, multimedia creations, and adapting video for stage productions.

In Macau, in the most densely populated region of the world, in which Yves has become a resident for 12 years, we are discovering our historical center without crowds once again due to the closedown of the borders from tourists. In the artwork “Possible Paths”, Yves has created an interactive video installation in which as the audience approaches the screen, the people in the video disappear gradually, leaving St Paul’s Ruins standing still, almost 400 years after being built.

When: July 31–August 28, 2020

Where: AFA, 4F Art Garden, 265 Avenida Dr. Rodrigo Rodrigues, Macau

How much: Free admission
