In the crypt, visitors can immerse themselves in Marcher à côté de ses lacets dans un frigidaire vide (Walking Next to Your Laces in an Empty Fridge), a sound work that echoes Akerman’s voice, and view—for the first time—a notebook belonging to her grandmother, written in Polish, which deeply inspired her life and work. On the mezzanine, photographs from D’Est (1993) evoke the faces and landscapes of Eastern Europe.
