Annette Messager and Christian Boltanski are two major French artists who have been recognised on the international scene since the 1970s. As life partners, they decided early on to separate their careers in order to succeed independently of each other. The exhibition aims to re-establish the dialogue between their works by revealing the affinities that have been little analysed, due to the rare confrontations that have taken place over time.

Several works, most of which come from the Centre Pompidou collection and were created over three decades (between 1968 and 2020), reflect their shared interests, methods and languages, while evoking different perceptions.
