For her second solo exhibition, "Le Réveil des Cariatides", at the Galerie Derouillon, composed like a tragedy in ten acts, Anastasia Bay collaborated with Clément Delhomme to write the exhibition booklet telling the story of this new myth.
"The massive bearers have shed their burden, freed from the yoke of supporting a world. These strong women are supported by a chorus of Mourners, exalting their recollection with tears and gestures of consolation. Anastasia Bay brings together the tradition of funerary sculpture, notably the expressiveness of the mourners in the tombs of the Dukes of Burgundy, and the intimacy of Byzantine icon paintings."
