The Franco-Venezuelan artist Carlos Cruz-Diez lived and worked in Paris from 1960 until his death. He is a major player in kinetic and optical art, a movement that encourages "an awareness of the instability of reality". His work established him as one of the key thinkers in the field of colour in the 20th century. Carlos Cruz-Diez' visual art explores the perception of colour as an autonomous reality evolving in space and time, without form or support, in a perpetual present.

Photo Days gives Jean-Michel Fauquet carte blanche in the Balzac Rotunda, erected by Baroness Salomon de Rothschild in honour of the writer in the gardens of her private mansion. The only constraint: Balzac had to be the creator of the works presented.
Fascinated by Rodin's famous sculpture of the novelist, Jean Michel Fauquet imagined an installation that brings together two series of painted photographs around a fake bronze sculpture, offering a very dark vision of the human comedy.
