Emily Kraus | Vertigo

Emily Kraus is included in VERTIGO, a group exhibition on view at Villa Carmignac in Porquerolles Island, France throguh November 2, 2025.

By bringing together around fifty works from museums, institutions and private collections, as well as from the Carmignac Collection, together with works created specifically for the exhibition, VERTIGO features artists who broke free of figuration, appearance and pictures the better to question our relationship to the perceptible world. With its slowly moving mobiles, interplays of shadow and light and large-format panoramic paintings, the exhibition is an invitation to plunge into the vertigo of the gaze. Offering a sweeping overview of the vertiginous sensations created by the exalted experience of nature, between disorientation, floating and wonder, the presentation is organised into sixsections, each devoted to a visual register connected with landscape – water, cosmogony, air, infinity, land and abyss.

Curated by Matthieu Poirier, VERTIGO applies a brand-new lens to the connections between the perception of natural phenomena and abstract art post-1950.
