On the occasion of Ceramic Brussels 2025, the Galerie Gastou presents L’Espèce Rouge, a new evolution in the work of Agnès Debizet. The exhibition will be brought to life in a scenography imagined by Joy Herro, who infuses a contemplative and theatrical dimension into the ensemble.
The landscape evokes a minimalist, dreamlike universe, a contemplative setting in front of which the public is invited to pause and discover the silent scene. The immaculately white mountains form a striking contrast with the engraved rocks, which themselves seem to bear ancient stories. The creatures, suspended between these elements, emerge like apparitions.

For Agnès Debizet, this setting fully reflects the essence of l’Espèce Rouge: candid, innocent creatures from an imagination oscillating between dream-like nature and playful fantasy. “These strange beasts are neither majestic nor sacred,” she explains. “They question their own identity and their place in a universe that eludes them, just as it does us.”
Guided by an intuitive approach, Agnès Debizet often lets the material guide her gestures, giving life to organic, surreal forms that capture the essence of nature. Her career is marked by a perpetual quest for innovation and discovery, where each work becomes an invitation to explore a world where imagination and reality meet. Joy Herro’s scenography amplifies this duality. The space is transformed into a kind of imaginary circus, where the audience contemplates a mute pantomime. Inspirations converge in this contemplative tableau, where humor, poetry and mystery coexist.
