The Jeu de Paume festival dedicated to the metamorphoses of the contemporary image returns for a second edition, "Paysages mouvants", with an immersive exhibition and three festive weekends, from February 7 to March 23, 2025.
The Jeu de Paume presents the second edition of its festival dedicated to the metamorphoses of the contemporary image, following Fata Morgana in 2022. This time, the public is invited to explore natural environments and the imaginaries that surround them, including three weekends from February 7 to March 23, 2025. "Moving Landscapes" features an exhibition by 15 artists, as well as performances, concerts, screenings, workshops and festive evenings.

Julian Charrière, Thomas Struth, Ellen Gallagher, Mounir Ayache, Laila Hida, Eliza Levy, Prune Phi and Richard Pak share their creations inspired by landscapes such as the jungle, the oasis, the sky, the desert, the forest... accompanied by the voice of scriptwriter Loo Hui Phang, to transform them and offer a new version. Textile works, videos, immersive installations, photographs, sculptures, drawings and projections plunge us into an artistic fresco that resonates with environmental issues.
Please note that the exhibition is spread over several levels! Once you've left the first floor space, don't forget to head upstairs to enjoy the rest of the exhibition, in rooms that move from shadow to light, taking you on a journey into the artists' imaginations.
