On the island of Hydra, where light and art have long attracted creators from around the world, the Historical Archives Museum of Hydra hosts You Won\u2019t Forget Her!, a striking solo exhibition by Japanese artist Kimiko Yoshida, presented by Fondation Valmont as part of its ongoing commitment to contemporary creation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On view from June 1 to July 26, 2026, the exhibition marks the artist\u2019s first presentation on the island and extends Fondation Valmont\u2019s dialogue between art, place and emotion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kimiko Yoshida\u2019s work unfolds as a continuous act of transformation. Through meticulously staged self-portraits, she transcends the notion of identity, embodying a multiplicity of figures shaped by art history, memory and imagination. Each image is constructed entirely in front of the camera, without any digital manipulation, through the precise application of make-up, textures and materials, turning her face into a living canvas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Echoes of iconic artworks run throughout her practice, not as copies, but as reinventions. Yoshida inhabits these references, absorbs them, and transforms them. The result is a suspended image, where past and present meet on the surface of the body, and where disguise becomes a means of revelation rather than concealment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The exhibition invites a slow and immersive gaze. These works do not reveal themselves immediately, but unfold over time, encouraging the viewer to look again and differently. A sense of wonder lingers well beyond the first encounter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Set within Hydra\u2019s unique cultural landscape, long considered a destination for contemporary art lovers, the exhibition resonates with the island\u2019s spirit of exchange and creation. In this context, You Won\u2019t Forget Her! becomes more than an exhibition: it is an experience that lingers, transforms, and leaves a lasting impression.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
