With his installations, the artist surprises: it is not so often that one can walk in the middle of totems, in the heart of Paris. And yet, the creations of the Frenchman do not stand out in the majestic setting of the Palais Bourbon: these contemporary works establish a dialogue with their environment, to enrich the landscape without obscuring it. Alexandre Benjamin Navet has sought to find abalance between the different works, but also between the works and their environment.

This open-air exhibition is therefore exceptional in more ways than one: it immerses us in the enchanted world of Alexandre Benjamin Navet, while allowing us to stroll through the courtyard and garden of the National Assembly. Register as soon as possible to discover this unique exhibition!
