Almine Rech Paris showcases Jess Valice's second solo exhibition, "Home is Not a Place," which runs until July 26, 2025. The exhibition delves into the intricate concept of home, portraying it as both a source of comfort and a potential site of alienation. Through her installation resembling her bedroom, Valice invites visitors to engage with themes of sanctuary and emotional turmoil. The vibrant maroon setting contrasts with a tranquil video projection of her backyard, highlighting the tension between inner numbness and outer peace. Further exploration occurs in a self-portrait diptych that captures feelings of isolation following trauma.
Valice's work grapples with home as a duality of comfort and alienation, reflecting on sanctuary's complexities in the face of loss and change.
Visitors are invited to sit on the bed, engaging with Valice's perspective and exploring the interplay between exterior serenity and interior numbness.
