As part of the group exhibition ‘You and Your Gang’, artists Lutèce Lockness and vanilla september are invited to make their worlds resonate throughout the Palais de Tokyo.
Lutèce Lockness brings together psychedelic sounds, medieval instruments and digital textures, while vanilla september interweaves undulating melodies, memories of adolescence and pop melancholy. Through these two concerts, the vernacular narratives, affective geographies and collective imaginaries running through the exhibition are carried into music.
Her audio-visual work yAmA yAmA, made with Mathilde Nury, Lutèce Lockness creates a shape-shifting epic fresque in which her breath becomes our guide through an all-enveloping, spellbinding world: a wide-ranging, incantatory and powerful composition.
With vanilla september, artist Léa Tissot-Laura extends her presence in the exhibition, where she presents the film Avant les foins (2026). This continuation in musical form shifts those resonances towards more intimate terrain, shaped by absence and memory. With oscillating guitars, reverb-soaked drums, slow rhythms and flute, vanilla september crafts melancholic pop with shifting contours. From love songs to pop anthems, the music draws us into shoegaze ballads, eighties discos and teen-movie soundtracks.
