Is everything art? What's the difference between looking and seeing? In this age of virtual reality, isn't it permissible to prefer reality?
Passionate about art since his childhood, Nicolas Guilbert is no less so by his contemporaries who, like him, visit great museums, galleries, fairs, and commune, for a moment, with the beauty and mystery of the works.
This special bond, celebrated here by more than 245 photographs taken over 35 years from Naples to New York, from Rotterdam to Madrid, from Basel to Los Angeles via Paris, has given rise to images that are by turns funny, moving, bizarre, never banal, and which reveal the joyful curiosity of human beings, their eternal desire to be amazed, their very confrontation with what they do not understand.
With a preface by Cécile Guilbert and accompanied by scholarly and incisive texts by Philippe Comar, which offer numerous insights into the nature of the museum, the old and new conditions for exhibiting works and their influence on modern perspectives, this stroll, both demanding and sensitive, ultimately has only one guide: an insatiable desire for art.
