From the location of the treasure to the architecture of knowledge, the thesaurus traces an attempt to bring order to the proliferation of the world. The exhibition unfolds in this interval: collecting, naming, approaching the ungraspable.

Emmanuelle Leblanc presents a set of entirely new works, marking a return to imagery and a breakthrough into poetry. Only the Diffuses series continues, like an open-ended research project.

Gems, golds, mineral pigments, luminous surfaces: a dense, almost votive materiality runs through the whole. Implicitly, there is a desire to produce an aesthetic of systems—fragile inventories or cartographies in the face of the complexity of the visible. Thesaurus unfolds like a visual and mental cosmogony, between archive and vertigo.

The white Diffuses, Cosmic latte, evoke the idea of a synthesis of the whole: the average color of the universe, resulting from the combination of light from hundreds of thousands of galaxies. They dialogue with Pietra, a series of mineral icons evoking the stones at the origin of pictorial colors.

A work on the chromatic lexicon accompanies these ensembles. Gemmae is a text written by 3773 for the exhibition, constructed from an extraction of the chromatic vocabulary from Book XXXVII of Pliny the Elder's Natural History, devoted to stones. Conceived as a frontispiece at the entrance to the exhibition, it acts as a threshold.

Thesaurus thus offers a journey through matter, language, and light—a sensitive attempt to capture the iridescent appearances of the world.
