ELIAS GALINDO-LOPEZ / Cheri, cherie, cheri·e : eat a cherry and make a wish !

Cheri, cherie, cheri·e : eat a cherry and make a wish !, Installation, performance, sound - Red tulle, cherries, bird calls, 2026

Cheri, cherie, cheri·e : eat a cherry and make a wish ! takes place in the Espace Niemeyer, a site charged with communist history and imagination, which becomes the terrain for a sensitive exploration of its symbols. On the lawn, a tulle carpet forming the word "CHERRY" echoes a performative presence inside the building, where cherries are offered in exchange for wishes.

Through the figure of the cherry—linking the song "Le Temps des cerises," the blackbird, and the revolutionary imaginary—a connection is woven between space, collective memory, and intimate projection. Each cherry will be a desire, each pit a possibility.

Elias Galindo-Lopez was born in 1989 in Mexico; he is an artist and performer based in Paris. Trained in dance, he develops a transdisciplinary practice blending performance, sound, installation, and objects, often guided by intuition and improvisation. Nourished by knowledge related to birds, plants, and stars, his work explores the sensitive relationships between humans and non-humans, between the living and the elements. A graduate of ENSAD Nancy and ENSAPC, he has presented his work in France and Mexico.
