Drawing its origins from Asia, the avenue Kléber palace will be showcasing contemporary Chinese art during 3 weeks. The works of this multi-faceted art venue will enable clients, as well as the public at large, to discover a unique language with living sculptures and photos where color and optical illusion mingle with brio, offering a captivating and hypnotizing  artistic « Road Trip ».

Named « the invisible man », Liu Bolin, whose ongoing success will soon be proclaimed by a retrospective of his work at the Maison Européenne de la Photographie, poses for hours in front of a wall, a landscape or a symbolic monument. Thus, he completely blends in with the decor like a chameleon and disappears in the landscape so that the environment can take over.

An ephemeral art that deserves all its stars…
