Summary
[ Baudelaire's View : Vice and Little Girl ] 2023
[ Baudelaire's View : Vice and Little Girl ] 2023 is an exhibition
multidisciplinary art where we reinterpreted the ideas
philosophical aspects of Charles Baudelaire present in his
collection of poems “Les Fleurs du Mal”. Baudelaire, through his works, seeks to discover beauty in what is universally considered evil, thus proposing a new aesthetic paradigm.
The 'œ' team wishes to reflect this reform movement
in contemporary society by instilling courage
to young people who are still marginalized and unrecognized.
By using a fictional character boarding a
adventure as a medium, we encourage immersion
spectators, providing a richer experience.

the den of evil. We dare to affirm that, for Baudelaire, evil was
more intoxicatingthan the scent of flowers and sweeter than chocolate.

their free coexistence with the system by occupying
firmly in their place, thus expressing their ideal.
