Dans la mythologie grecque, Actéon, chasseur et petit-fils d’Apollon, surprend Artémis alors qu’elle prend son bain à l’orée d’une grotte. Furieuse d’être vue nue, la déesse le transforme en cerf et Actéon meurt dévoré par ses propres chiens. L’artiste plasticien François Lelong détourne le mythe et en propose une fin alternative où Actéon échappe à ses chiens, mais se retrouve ainsi condamné à l’errance éternelle. Sa sculpture le représente agenouillé, portant sa lourde ramure, les yeux plongés dans le vide.
Dans le projet artistique de François Lelong, l’errance d’Actéon est jalonnée d’installation dans des « sites-refuges » dont le Laténium fait partie. Actéon y est visible jusqu’au 21 février 2025.
