EXPOSITION
PALAIS DE TOKYO — DOUBLE JE
—
The craftsman, the artist, the detective and the criminal are at times all driven by the same obsession for perfection and detail.
The exhibition Double Je (Double Self) provides the backdrop for a storyline specially written for Palais de Tokyo by the crime writer Franck Thilliez.
The narrative brings together a renowned craftsman and one of his contemporaries, whose immense talent is overshadowed by his tormented soul. A mysterious murder takes place and the plot thickens when the victim disappears...
The exhibition not only recreates the workshops and living spaces of the two protagonists, but also constitutes the backdrop of a crime scene. The fruit of a collaboration between craftsmen and artists, the furniture and objects featured have provided the opportunity for numerous commissions. Together, they set the scene of the drama and provide clues, which invite the visitor to unravel the plot.
After L'Usage des formes (The Use of Forms), this exhibition is the second part of the partnership established with the Bettencourt Schueller Foundation, to honour art professions and artists.
