Over 2000 objects, video clips, photos and engravings returning on Hubert Duprat’s career and experiences. This exhibition is to discover from September 118, 2020 to January 10, 2021.

Hubert Duprat has constituted a collection of curious works based on innovative techniques. The exhibition of Paris Museum of Modern Art gathers sculptures, photos, video clips, works refecting the years devoted to artistic research and seminal works.

For over 30 years, the contemporary artist is inspired by caddisflies’ larvae, a small insect that makes a cocoon of objects found in its environment. Hubert Duprat chose to give insects golden threads, pearls and other delicate pieces to see them build unique houses made by man and animal.
