Discover the unique world of Guénaëlle de Carbonnières at the Musée des Arts Décoratifs
A meeting of archives and contemporary creation
Guénaëlle de Carbonnières is a visual artist whose work combines historical rigor with artistic boldness. Born in 1986 in Paris, she holds an agrégation in visual arts and has been trained in philosophy. Her approach invites us to rethink photography not only as a record but also as a living object, bearing traces and fragments of often-forgotten stories.
Through this exhibition, she engages in a dialogue with the museum’s photographic archives, like an archaeologist of images. By scrutinizing, recomposing, and enhancing old photographs, she reveals layers invisible to the naked eye—marks of wear, accidents, collages, and tears that become poetic and sensitive markers. Her work strikes a delicate balance between destruction and rebirth, between individual and collective memory.
An immersive journey at the heart of the museum
The exhibition unfolds in the Cabinet of Drawings, Wallpapers, and Photographs, located on the fifth floor of the Musée des Arts Décoratifs—a perfect setting for this intimate and delicate exploration of the world of images. This space, dedicated to works on paper, offers an atmosphere conducive to the careful observation of the textured details and visual subtleties characteristic of Guénaëlle de Carbonnières’ creations.
Visitors are invited to take their time discovering a rich and coherent selection, where each work acts as a fragment of a larger story, woven from light, materials, and faded memories. Between engravings, fragmented photograms, inks, and resins, the pieces on display open a window onto a singular artistic landscape, blending visual poetry with reflections on temporality.
