At the Grand Palais, Transparence is an exhibition at the Palais des enfants that brings together works of art and experiments exploring light. Designed for families to discover together, it shows how materials let light through, scatter it or reflect it, and how this changes the image we see.
Installations by Dan Graham and Soo Sunny Park turn these observations into immersive experiences. In Dan Graham’s space, reflective surfaces change what you see depending on where you stand. Soo Sunny Park’s Unwoven Light suspends translucent elements above visitors, their colours shifting with the light. These works echo the nearby experiments, where lenses distort vision and translucent clouds veil a light source.
Moving from an installation to a print, a sculpture or a photograph encourages visitors to slow down and look more closely. Works by Patrick Neu and Agathe May invite them to reconsider the subtle variations revealed throughout the exhibition, between light passing through and an image slipping from view.
