LA TENTATION DE L'ESPACE
2007 — Paris, FR
Scenography — Exhibition Design & Production
For Espace Louis Vuitton in Paris, we contributed to the production of La Tentation de l’Espace, an exhibition designed by Philippe Rizzotti and Gonzague Lacombe, realised with Collective E.X.Y.Z.T..
The scenography consisted of a lightweight spatial installation combining structure, fabric, and light to create an immersive environment. A timber framework was enveloped in stretched white cloth, forming a continuous, soft architectural volume. Integrated fluorescent lighting, programmed in a slow “breathing” sequence, animated the space and enhanced its atmospheric quality.
The project explored perception, light, and enclosure, transforming the gallery into a dynamic and sensorial environment through minimal means.
