Claire Fontaine

Passe-Partout (Paris 3ème)

A work by the collective Claire Fontaine, *Passe-Partout (Paris 3ème)* reflects the group's ongoing interrogation of political resistance, identity, and the mechanisms of control embedded in everyday life. The title references both a master key and a type of matting used in framing, suggesting themes of access, borders, and the structures that define what is included or excluded. True to Claire Fontaine's practice, the piece engages with the language of conceptual art to challenge prevailing social and ideological systems.
