In(e) light at the EDF Foundation: an electrifying exhibition in images!

Let there be light. For the first time, the EDF Foundation is placing the treasures of its collection in the spotlight: masterpieces of light capable of sculpting the day and revealing the invisible in the heart of the night. High-energy installations, tangles of neon and phosphorescent lighting illuminate this chiaroscuro exhibition. Here, Raoul Dufy, the father of La Fée Electrique, illuminates his work with a series of ten dazzling lithographs, while Man Ray reveals his first “rayograms” on which we can still make out the wavy trails left by heating coils depicting the elusive passage of current.

Further on, the wall sculptures of Gun Gordillo transform from dawn to the blue hour, thus suggesting the natural flow of time, when Costis warns us against love at first sight with his random choreographies generated by electric discharges. Between the digital compositions of Bernard Caillaud and the kinetic creations of Julio Le Parc, the geometric alphabet of Adalberto Mecarelli and the volatile mirages of François Morellet, the exhibition oscillates between shadows and lights, until guest dancers come episodically giving substance to matter.
