Leandro Erlich: enter the illusion
After seducing millions of visitors in Tokyo, Miami and Milan, an exhibition devoted to Leandro Erlich arrives for the 1st time in France at the Grand Palais. Through a series of fourteen monumental installations, the artist explores the mechanisms of perception and invites you to question... your own bearings. Distorted architectures, plays on scale, mirrors and trompe-l'œil transform spaces into sensitive experiences, activated by your very presence. Conceived with curator Fabrice Bousteau, the exhibition offers a journey through reality, which seems constantly to shift, between observation and illusion.

At the heart of the installation, a monumental kinetic sculpture dialogues with visual and sound elements, while sensory objects extend the exploration of a world in constant transformation.
