PARIS.-The Jeu de Paume presents Val閞ie Mr閖en: la place de la concorde, on view through June,15, 2008. Artist, photographer and writer Val閞ie Mr閖en uses multiple mediums of expression the better to explore the possibilities of language. Her videos are often inspired by memories, everyday events, the cruel or comical details of existence, commonplaces and misunderstandings.
