It is the first time that the Musée Carnavalet presents such a surprising and original project.
The texts of the various rooms are designed by Philippe Starck, while the scenography is created by the Atelier Maciej Fiszer and unravels through atmospheres that follow one another in an installation guided by a low-tech approach, respecting the environment.
Respect that goes from the reuse of equipment used for previous exhibitions to the search for objects found in the markets of the Ville Lumière.
”I am a man of forests, dunes, big waves - says Starck -, but if I have to go to Paris I like gray areas. I share Modiano's love for those areas where you wonder if what you see really exists.
These buffer areas between different neighborhoods, placed before or immediately after the ring road. Spaces that we just don't understand.
But I believe that beauty and poetry are expressed in places that have not been designed. In short, I believe that beauty, after all, is expressed in the shadows”.
